I don't even think it was that. They did it because Charlie Batch thought it would be a good idea.

I thought the school consulted Charlie Batch? Maybe I misread that.

I know Batch stepped in before when there was a brawl a year or two ago. I want to say Brentwood students, mostly white town, had kids in their student section dress up like monkeys and bananas when they played Monessen, a predominantly black town. Batch stepped in, the newspapers were called - same type of deal.

I thought Batch initiated. I could be wrong. But like I typed last night, it doesn't really matter. I don't see the PIAA taking any action against the whole team. Nor, in my opinion, should it.

I don't think they should either, but some have obviously called for it.

They apologized. End of story. If you didn't like the apology too bad. Why are we trying to make it a race issue know it all? It doesn't matter what color you are bad behavior is bad behavior!

I find Bill Murry's comments as FOS and I'll leave it at that.

Look, even I find the video as a little bit disingenuous, but in this day of social media I'm sure several players reached out via twitter and FB to apologize for what has happened.

what part of what I said is FOS? sorry buck, it's all truth. It still disgusts me to this day the scene that unfolded after that game until the buses left. If you weren't on that field, you have no idea what it looked like. I was, and it made me sick.
and don't assume that players reached out.

You can't instill values by making a video...
