TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS
Your headline doesn't deserve any more attention than anyone else's, and most of the rest are showing the courtesy of not shouting for no reason.

A male high school field hockey player severely injured a female athlete during a recent game in Massachusetts, prompting outcry from women’s sports advocates.
Video of the incident was posted to social media, showing, from a distance, one player launching a shot that hit the female player in the face. Teammates and other players can be seen reacting to the shot, which reportedly knocked out several of the female player’s teeth. The female victim can be heard screaming in train after getting hit.
The ICONS X account, representing an organization dedicated to protecting women’s sports, posted the video and tagged NCAA President and former Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, asking him to “listen to the screams.”

Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District superintendent Bill Runey issued a statement acknowledging that a Swampscott High School female player was seriously injured on Thursday during the game against Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School.
“Last night, a female field hockey player for the Dighton Rehoboth Regional High School girls’ field hockey team sustained significant facial and dental injuries when she was struck in the face by a shot in the third quarter versus Swampscott in an MIAA state playoff contest,” Runey said in the statement.
He also explained that the girl lost two teeth as a result of a shot by a male athlete.
“The shot was taken by a male member of the Swampscott girls field hockey team. This injury required hospitalization,” he continued. “The player, her family, teammates, and coaches remain in my prayers.”

which reportedly knocked out several of the female player’s teeth.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Wheres the beef? IN the old days almost 100% of professional hockey players from Caada had lost their two front teeth to hockey pucks by the time they turned 16.It was a mark of status among the fast puckers.
If a girl doesn’t like a puck, she needs to stay in the stands where there is no pucking.
Puckers of the world.....UNITE!
This was the girl’s voluntary assumption of risk in playing the game.Or will the lefty l;iberals of Massachusetts start using nerf pucks?
It will not stop until someone instills some sanity in modern women.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That will never stop because OF FEMALE BIOLOGY, PMS, AND PROGESTERONE.
Women and men need their own teams without any transgender follderoll.As it was of old.
been pointing that premise out for literally DECADES to all who would listen and understand...but mostly i was a “anti-feminist crackpot”. interesting how the women’s movement demanded that women are equal to men in every way so now that they’ve reached that pinnacle of equality where men ARE equal to women in every way, some women have realized that their collective ladder was leaning on the wrong wall. simple extrapolation of current events in the 60’s pointed out where we were headed but, as has been written in the past...”Extrapolation of current events to predict a logical conclusion is a very lost art” L.Star
This is women’s field hockey.
Different.
Geared to women.
She still voluntarily assumed the risk. And her parents signed off on it.
However, males should NOT be playing on female teams
becuse in the diiference in body strength.
BUt a hard shot from a girl can break teeth as well as one from a boy.
Why the huge pucker factor?
This is a lefty , commie state whose politicians have the people convinced that boys and girls are physically equal, that white people are privileged and automatically racist, and that Palestinians are being subjected to genocide.
IN fact the majority of people in Massachusetts are pure, unmitigated nutters.
Social trust has diminished. True.
And we let it be diminished by staying home in foront of the TV.
Now its time to hit the road.
If my daughter was on a team like this playing against a Freak aka Phaggot, I would not allow her to play.
The ignorance around here is stupefying.
Boys have been playing field hockey in MA for about 40 years. It had zero to do with LGBT stuff. It is allowed under the same rules that allow girls to wrestle.
Most idiots around here don’t understand that field hockey is a violent sport, akin to ice hockey. In most places in the world it is dominated by men.
This has more to do with an errant shot and the “victim” not using her mouth protection appropriately.
But, by all means, continue on with your ridiculous rants.
A simple proofreading would catch a lot of stuff that spell check doesn’t. Nobody proofreads anymore.
Where are the fathers? Is there a dad on that team with at least 1 testicle to fight the fight?

Most of us..
Don’t agree with boys on girls team, but honestly this could have happened even if the player hitting the ball was a girls. Ball was hit and hit the girl right in the face/mouth.
The technology ruined editing. People who are good at the English language are generally not good at technology.
The best publishers still manage to find people who can do both, or maybe they give the job to two different people.
Were this my sister myself and my four other brothers would have beaten this guy into a puddle.
“The player, her family, teammates, and coaches remain in my prayers.”
I hope they sue and get millions.
