Virginia high school track star attacked by baton-wielding opponent during state title race

Tucker – who had earned silver in the girl’s 55m dash earlier in the meet – was attempting to cut into lane one during a battle for second place in the front pack as she was rounding turn fou…

This is not your father's track meet.. Girl attacked!
We can debate all kinds of nonsense here but the only real question is, what should the attacker's punishment be? I would say a 6 month stay in a hard labor camp ought to do it.

I was just about the post the same thing, and to ask what her punishment should be.

IMO, this violent girl should be banned from ALL sports (not just track) for the remainder of her high school career - thus killing any chance of an athletic scholarship for college.

She should also be required to get an after-school job at Target, Mcadonald’s, wherever - and have her earnings go to her victim’s medical expenses.

I know, right?...lol

I'm not surprised. Violence is everywhere today.

I'm kind of curious as to the 'concussion'?

Even back in My day running track, the batons were hollow aluminum tubes.

In the black community, violence is the solution for every problem they encounter. Did you rear end an innocent driver and now your car is fucked up? Just get out of your car and attack the person that you rear ended. Easy peasy.

Animals know no other way to settle things but with physical violence.

The parents should look into assault charges against the young lady that hit her in the head, with a metal rod....

As for the coach of that team, maybe a good attorney could teach him/her what being a responsible adult should act like through a little pain in the wallet.

People take sports way too seriously.

People take sports way too seriously.

1) College scholarships could be at stake. With tuition running at $20,000 a year even at state schools, that IS serious.

2) The question was: what should the violent girl’s punishment be?

The coach may, or may not, be an idiot, but in any event you can't punish him/her unless he ordered the attack.

Is that why more whites are in prison?

More whites are in prison because there are 4x as many whites in the general population as blacks.

Duh.

He/she failed to render aid...

So you're saying the claims that more blacks are targeted for prison are nonsense. Thank you.

This thread just sparked the usual racist, I can post videos of whites fighting at HS sporting events, but they would just make excuses for it.

I would have posted the story (and had the same commentary) if it was a white girl attacking a white girl, so NO, this has nothing to do with racism.

As a percentage of a population, you are way wrong. And I think you know that already.

Whether it is during an event or outside, it is still an assault causing physical harm.
She should be arrested

There never is any violence in the sport of Curling.
