This 6 game suspension rule is pathetically extreme.These are 16 and 17 year olds playing an emotionally fueled game This is like using a shotgun to go mosquito hunting…its over kill.6 games is almost the death penalty for a minute of anger being vented.a one game suspension in plenty…I’m sure “coach” can administer any additional punishments at practice in the form of wind sprints after practice.

A rule is a rule…being a good player doesn’t change the rules. The school of all people should teach children to be responsable for their actions. This only eaches them to expect exception….sad. He should sit out the games.

I love the fact that Mrs. Weaver, Coach Wheatley and Mr. Thomas all were standing up for Neiko. As Greg says, LEARN from this and move on.

My child was just suspensed for 6 games at a high school in another county in Florida. He was NOT involved in a fight, nor did he throw a punch. He was guilty of putting his knee in another player’s back as he got up. He was ejected by the only referee who claimed to see it. The incident did NOT show up on film, and no one on the field even claimed to see it. Even the alleged victim said he didn’t realize what was happening. My child’s actions were wrong, but six games, REALLY? It is not fair. He will be eligible to play in the last game of the season only if we don’t make the playoffs. I am incensed. This is football, not tiddliwinks.

I’m so thankful we have administration in our school system that will fight for their students. Right or wrong…. they are teenagers and they will make mistakes. The most important life lesson from this is that with every choice you make, there is a consequence…good or bad! I’m glad he will be talking to the younger kids and showing them and maybe keeping them from making the same mistake. Retaliation is not always the answer, sometimes it’s best to just walk away from that play and show how good you are on the next play.(By placing your helmet in their numbers and watching them pull the grass out of their facemask!) Respect is not given, it is earned, and that comes by playing 100% for 4 quarters, playing hard with all your heart, and with having good sportmanship! Good luck with the rest of the year!

There was no judgement intended. Only from observation. I’m sure that both are great young men and that is how they should portray themselves. SPORTSMANSHIP
