High school students beaten by rival fans for Tebowing after basketball win
Jan 16, 2012, 12:12 PM EDT
It happened in Charleston, S.C., where two Wando High School students were beaten up in the parking lot by rival fans for Tebowing after their team had won a basketball game. Imagine Nelson Muntz saying: “THAT’S for not realizing Tim Tebow is no longer a trending topic!” The Post and Courier:
A rivalry between local basketball fans heated up this week when Wando High students said they were punched and kicked after “Tebowing” during a game against West Ashley High.
Two teenage fans were beaten — one to the point of vomiting — as they walked outside after the game, which ended in a 20-point rout by Wando. Neither required hospitalization. A 17-year-old Wando fan told police that as he and a friend left the gym and began walking through a breezeway, some West Ashley fans jumped them.
“They were scared for their lives,” said Lara Isaac, the 17-year-old’s mother. “No one was manning the exits to make sure this wouldn’t happen. The kids who did this apparently knew that.”
Fun fact: The Wando High School marching band is a marching band dynasty, having won the past seven straight SCBDA state 5-A championships.

Beaten to the point of vomitting is probably a severe concussion.
These kids are idiots.

“Of course the violence also could have been sparked by the recent announcement that Jon Huntsman has dropped out of the presidential race. I know high school kids are taking that hard.” –
What would posses you to think that that comment was remotely appropriate after “reporting” a case of a physical beating……of high school students. You might want to take a look in the mirror at this point.

Way to make light of a very dangerous and sad situation Mr. Chandler. Children being beaten at a sporting event is never a joking matter Sir. You should think before you speak (or write).

Rick is a liberal, sir. You must realize they enjoy when something happens to someone who must have been conservative in their views.
