Chicken killing students kicked off team

BENBROOK, Texas - Officials with a Texas high school said two players were kicked off the baseball team after allegedly sacrificing live chickens on the ball field.

Administrators at Western Hills High School in Benbrook declined to identify the students but said they were removed from the team for the remainder of the year and disciplined for allegedly sacrificing the chickens, which may have been baby chicks, on the school's field, the Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram reported Thursday.

Bobby McIntire, the school's baseball coach, said he has not spoken to the students and does not know the motivation behind their actions.

"Baseball is very superstitious, and I assume (movies like Major League and Bull Durham) are where they got it from," McIntire said.

Police are investigating the incident.

I’m opposed to live animal sacrifices for trivial reasons.

However, had these students been of an exotic animal sacrificing religion, I’m sure they would have been excused.

They probably thought that if they got caught saying a "christian" prayer they would be EXPELLED rather than just getting kicked off the team, so instead they opted for the Voodoo route.

Although on the up side for our budding Voodoo priests, they can probably now sue the school for "religious" intolerance and violating their First Amendment Rights and win a fat payday.

Two questions: 1. Why are there chickens on the team? 2. How do chickens kill students?

Is "chicken killing" code for something else?

It is if you practice Satanic rituals like Santeria.

The general rule is:

Killing chickens to eat them: good.

Killing chickens to sacrifice to the demons of voodoo or santeria: bad.

Normally, people don’t kill their eating chickens on the playing field.

Was the killing accompanied by throbbing, pulsating drums?
