Do you think any of the schools in Kentucky would allow this?

What rule would prevent him from being allowed to play in Kentucky?

He served his 9 months in a juvenile detention facility. The other one found guilty is still in jail.

I was asking do you think any Kentucky school would allow him to continue to play?

Wasn't saying there was a rule that would not allow him.


This has been talked about nationally and most are appalled he is playing.

This whole story is terrible for several families and goes straight to my point of winning at all costs. Wouldn't it have been a better outcome if a teacher-coach had talked to his team about respecting women. Wouldn't it have been a better outcome if this players teammate would have had the courage to intercede. Wouldn't it have been a better outcome if the adults involved in this would have provided better guidance instead of saying this is what boys do. I do not know if he should be back or not. Maybe this experience changed him and he now has the courage to step up when he sees young people making poor choices. But the win at all costs was the mantra at this community and it got them national publicity for all the wrong reasons and a great many peoples lives were changed forever. This is just one of many across the US that administrators, coaches, parents, fans are sending the wrong message to the student athletes almost certainly setting them up to fail in the game of life.

I understand your original question.

What grounds would a Kentucky school district have to not allow him to play?

[NEWARKCATHOLICFAN]

He is a sexual predator seems to be the right reason even though there sadly does not seem to be a rule against this as far as playing high school sports goes.

KHSAA has a rule against coaches being sexual offenders, but not players, in Bylaw 25.

He was a juvenile when this was committed. He served his time. He should be allowed to play.

I have family that lives in Steubenville , & what I gather from them since this crime didnt happen at the School , he served his time , & that he lives within the district that the law is on his side . The school had to let him in , & couldnt ban him from Football , that the family threatend legal action if the school didnt follow the law . Again i dont know how true this is , i was just told this from a family member that lives there . Can anybody confirm or deny this ?

Don't all schools make athletes sign some sort of school rules and conduct policy? I know our school does and this offense would prevent him from playing. And even if the school feels like they have too let him play, the coach does not have give him playing time. Sad thing is after what this kid did, he still wants to show his face around the school. I just find it hard to believe he is getting much support from parents or teammates!

Im with you on this . Cant see him getting in support from teamates or parents . Im shocked he even wanted to go back to this school . Hopefully the coach wont give him any playing time at all !

The school followed the policy and the player was in juvenile detention for 9 months.

He was prevented from playing during his jailtime. He shouldn't be kept off of the field after he served his time.

Being he is a stud on the field and the coach most was say tried to help cover this up, this rapist will be on the field as much as possible.

Can't forgive him, can you, NCF?

[NEWARKCATHOLICFAN]

Forgiveness for rape I.M.O can never be forgiven.

If this was your daughter could you forgive the rapist?

I can forgive no male for raping any female.

He should be forgiven.

He was released before the other individual.

He served his time and has followed everything that was asked of him.

“I think the boy should be allowed to play,” Abdalla Jr. added. “Ma’lik Richmond has done everything that’s been asked of him from the court’s standpoint since he’s been sentenced.”

[NEWARKCATHOLICFAN]

Being I was not there I can not give you a play by play what this rapist did on that night.

U Can as many have goggle it and learn all you want on the rapist and what he was convicted of.

[NEWARKCATHOLICFAN]

Here is one of many articles showing him being convicted of rape.

I am well aware of the details. What he did was wrong. We should be able to forgive him for what he did.

He served his time and should be allowed to continue going to high school and playing football.

[Fly By Night]

The point I am making to you is that we are not aware of all of the details of the case that allowed him to only have 9 months in juvenile detention.

[NEWARKCATHOLICFAN]

Convicted of rape was the charge and nine months is a joke.
But that another story in which the REP AND DEM the puppets put in charge has been allowed to do.

Maybe he was a key witness in getting the other boy convicted.

We just do not know, do we?

Maybe there was a deal made.

Unfortunately this has already happened in Ohio. The most notable being former UK defensive lineman Ellery Moore when he was at Massillon. It was shown on the Massillon documentary "Go Tigers" and after he served his time, he was allowed to go back to school and play.

I wouldn't be surprised if a Kentucky school let him play, and I think there are programs out there that would. I don't know about rape, but there have been schools that let kids with DUIs, drug possession, and robbery convictions back on the team. None of which are as serious as rape, but are still serious charges.

He served the time for the crime, he's back in school, and it's not against the rules. If the kid is sincerely sorry for what he/she did and sincerely shows the community that they're willing to work 100% to become a better person and understands that another screw up in any way is the end of that 2nd chance, then I don't see why the community should keep kicking them when they're down.

With that being said, as a former coach myself, I wouldn't let him/her back on the team that easily. I'd give him a chance, but they'd have to out work themselves to show me they're ready to join the team again

[EKUAlum05]

I am split.

I understand the logic that if he did his time as a juvenile he shouldn't have the rest of his life ruined.

At the same time... this was a VERY public case with National Attention. I am all for the kid having a chance to return to school and get his diploma, but by and large I think with it being such a sore topic it is poor form to allow him to play football.

If I am the Principal I welcome him back to school, but I let him know that he will not be representing our school on the field as he lost that right with the decisions and actions he took. Playing athletics is a privilege and in this case he abused that privilege and should not be rewarded for his despicable acts.

[Westside]

He's now a registered sex offender. I'm not sure I'd even want him walking the halls of the school again.

That's a good point, if he is a registered sex offender is he even allowed to be on campus...
