Yeah, I saw that story come across the wire when I was working the sports desk last night and was saddened by it. The ironic thing is that it was a class on ethics. I got the feeling from the teachers comments that he was probably some wacko trying to make a point about discrimination and be "funny" about it. A lot of people have no concept of what humor is these days ... it's like people who destroy things and say it's a "practical joke." Publicly flogging a kid is just not funny, but apparantly some people just cannot draw the line. It's too bad. I always enjoyed the kind of ribbing and competative banter that goes on between football fans, but again, you expect an educator to know when it's time to lighten up.
Then the Broncos had to go out and just add insult to injury for this poor kid ...
