Ah, our tax dollars hard at work.

Interesting the alledged quote from the AD concerning what school the kid would best fit in.

Woah! That should not sit well with the other players/parents at the school. It wouldn't surprise me if there are a lot of firings over this one.

If they can get even remotely close to proving that these allegations are correct, there's going to be a TON of new people hired at Central.

This really shouldn’t be hard to prove. Should be witnesses everywhere. Sounds like Central is in trouble if the Board cares anything about human decency and also sounds like a new coach may be in order

I noticed it quoted the AD or Principal as saying because of his parent's professions as well. Looking at the names on the lawsuit, the attorney is also named as the plaintiff for the player. On occasion I've seen an attorney be listed as the plaintiff in these type of cases, but normally it's the child's parents. So, it makes me wonder if the attorney is the father of the child, or is he just filing on behalf on him.

Which still leads me to my question, where was the criminal investigation into this?

Guessing there isn’t one and. It even sure what you’d charge them with

I'd go with negligence, at the very least. Even if the player wasn't forced, if you're allowing a kid to walk a half mile in his underwear, you've got to step in and do something.

I would agree with that. I wasn’t saying there shouldn’t be I’m just not sure what you could charge with. That would have went a long way with the lawsuit had there been some kind of police report. From what’s been said so far, if true, sounds like they didn’t like hearing from the dad and maybe even resented the kid for coming from a family with money if that’s the case. If making a kid walk half a mile in his underwear isn’t outside board standards then they need a new board. It’s like i said, i know there is two sides, but nothing will excuse making a kid walk in his underwear that far, and that should be easy to prove. If proven, there should firings handed out everywhere lol

There are going to be some very complicated and messy proceedings, but, honestly it's a pretty open and shut case. If you can prove it to be true, everybody (literally) involved should be gone. If it's found to be made up, then you'll get into some smaller stuff like the comments about the kids family situation, and should have been at Trinity. But, that's not really legal issues, just someone who doesn't have much tact.

Filing criminal charges definitely would help the case for the player, but I'm not sure it would be the deciding factor. This should be pretty easy to prove.

Coach told the kid to take off his gear and leave. I see no problem with that. Kid decided to remove his pants, probably being a smart a$$. Tell the kid bye. Tell coach good job. Too many snowflakes. I guess it is winter.

You have lost your mind. I would be the first Person to call a snowflake an actual snowflake if it was warranted but this isn’t that kind of situation

How do you know what the situation actually is? I am in no way saying you are wrong but I am saying this smells. No one mentioned this all season and then it's all over the place after the fact?. If this happened to my kid, we would be addressing it then and there, not after the season. I need to know more about this before I start calling for jobs and smearing coaches.

No that’s not what happened While i do know a little about this, it’s not my place to post it but i can assure you the kid wasn’t being a smart butt. He did what he was told and this is the result. That’s about all I’m comfortable saying it’s a mess and it’s not going to end well for anyone involved and it will put a black eye on our school and community when it’s all said and done.

All i will say is it just didn’t pop up out of the blue, there was an effort to resolve it like adults and that’s why it’s just now making it to court but some people acted like they was king and it ended up in court anyway. Not a good situation at all.

Did you witness it?

luke skywalker · 12-06-2018, 11:03 PM

The people in charge didn’t take the situation and family serious, but now that it’s in court it’s gotten everyone’s attention it seems. I know there’s been effort to keep it out of court, and that may still happen with some compromises from both sides, but right now everyone has their heels dug in for a fight. Hopefully it don’t get as ugly as it has potential to.

Thanks for jumping in and clarifying because the article reads like that's what he did.

Could be on the edge of child exploitation charges as well.

While that may be the case, the coach allowing the kid to take off his pants, and then walk in public like that for a distance, that's an issue.

BoyleCo · 12-07-2018, 12:22 AM

I was just going by the article. If more took place I understand.

Iâm not totally familiar with Louisville but I do know the field is at least 2-4 city blocks from the school, field is not on campus.

I could see this being the situation, whether it is correct or not. However in today's age you can't say that. If he would have said, "take your helmet and shoulder pads off, and go home" that is one thing. Saying, "take all your stuff off" is a statement that implies pants. It's just the way he worded it. He will probably get fired for it.

Now Doc you smear Jet all the time, just kidding. This is a serious incident if it happened but I would wait to hear both sides before any judgement.

I was having a bad day when I toasted Jet. I also publicly apologized because I was wrong. I feel bad that it happened.

This thread here is just plain scary, true or not.
