BadJocks Stories From the Week of August 17, 2003

Parents: Our Boy Got Slapped on the Belly So We Want $40 Million - The parents of a HS wrestler say he was repeatedly hazed over a two year period and the coach not only knew about it, he condoned it. Apparently, the boy was repeatedly give a "red belly" by fellow wrestlers who would hold him down, lift up his shirt and slap his stomach. So, of course, they're suing the school. Side Note: No word yet on how much my parents are asking for four years worth of wedgies, swirlies and purple nurples I endured in high school, but I'll let you know.

Mascot Madness - Michigan high school sends secret custodian SWAT team into building over the weekend to remove all images and references of their long time Indian mascot before students returned to classes. Some reports claim that officials even painted over the Indian heads in student artwork on a few large murals inside the school! Officials responded by saying it was done to "save" those mementos for an auction this spring to raise money to pay for a new, as yet unnamed, mascot. You can suggestion a new mascot to Principal Corinne Archie-Edwards at (810) 760-1042.

HS Football Coach Suspended for Three Games - Why? He threw a marker against a wall after his team played poorly in a scrimmage and part of it bounced off the wall and hit a player. Oh, and apparently he swears a lot.

Strange, But True - Team in Junior League Softball World Series forced to forfeit game . . . because they weren't trying hard enough? Opposing coach claims they intentionally played poorly, a violation of the rules, and lost their first two games by scores of 24-0 and 29-4. Apparently, by doing so they had a chance to advance in the tournament . . . somehow.

Rugby Fans Give Soccer Hooligans a Run for Their Money - Just when we thought that soccer fans were the worst behaved lot in the sports world, comes news from New Zealand that police there had to actually close down an entire hotel because so many drunken rugby fans they could not keep order.
- UK hooliganism on the rise.

#128! Gym teacher accused of having sex with student when she was 14!

Have Cam Will Travel - 51-year-old HS volleyball coach arrested for secretly videotaping women and young girls at a mall.

Sports Lawsuit of the Week - HS girls sues school; claims they should have protected her better from pack of wrestlers who kept her in a locker room against her will and made her perform oral sex on one of them. (Thanks to Artie Bigley for the link!)

NASCAR or the NHL? Why Not Both! You go to a hockey game and you expect some fights. You go to a stock car race and you expect some wrecks. But what if you could combine the two into one new, exciting sport? Two NASCAR drivers gave us a preview over the weekend, and it looks like gasoline-fueled, bloody fun!  (Thanks to Mark Caswell for the link!)

Dumbass of the Week - Not a title we give out lightly here at BadJocks, but we think this guy's earned it, even if it is only Tuesday: A man who used to work for the owner of a UK soccer team was banned from matches for five years after he set off a hotel fire alarm to disturb opposing players the night before a big  game.

Double Dumbass of the Week - Okay, maybe we spoke too soon. Try this one out: one man killed and another injured following a pickup basketball game that involved a wager of $20. And the guy who did the shooting didn't even play! (Thanks to Chad Vassallo for the link!)

Triple Dumbass of the Week - Well, someone might land the illusive "quad" but we doubt not. But just look at what this football coach at a Catholic school in Detroit area allegedly accomplished: he beats the crap out of his athletic director AND the principle of the school, who just happened to be a priest! According to reports, he also threatened the AD's family, saying "Let me tell you something, I'm going to get you. I'm going to (bleeping) kill you and kill your (bleeping) family. I'm going to get every last one of them."

More Cricket Capers! Another Australian cricket player (not Shane Warne this time) is in trouble over text messages his fiancée found on his mobile phone. The messages so upset her that she has now called off their upcoming wedding!
