Roosevelt-Union (UT) High has had an interesting week...
They are 3-2 heading into their homecoming game this Friday, but after the coaching staff thought the team was going in too many different directions mentally, all the players on the squad were suspended. They had to earn their spot on the roster back through service to their school, parents, and community.
Last Friday was a loss to Judge Memorial Catholic. And when coaches found out that their athletes were cruising in class and even encouraging bullying through an anonymous website, they had had enough. The student that was the point of the bullying was not a member of the Union High team.
Head coach Matt Labrum told the team to hand in their jerseys...
So, it's been an interesting week of not practicing...
This is a rare example of showing that football is a privilege and not a right...
And if Roosevelt-Union High School sounds familiar, this was the school that had police go after students who were doing a traditional haka dance as a part of their football games last season. Police used pepper spray on students and it turned into a big mess...
