[quote name="oodooo" post="747106" timestamp="1264037033"] Honestly, when did this become a popular trend? That's not all that disturbs me, but the lack of repercussions for soccer players. For instance, an Ozen female basketball player threw one punch and is now "indefinitely suspended from the girls basketball team and will attend an alternative campus"[sub]1[/sub]. Along with that the article goes on to say that charges are being pressed on said female player. Now, in the soccer world a player who throws a punch after a fellow teammate has already thrown a punch he gets to boast about it on his web-page with ZERO repercussions..."broke my hand on some dudes face.. knock out but i think i got the worst of it"[sub]2[/sub], I mean, at least he admits to getting the worst of it. I guess if a sport is under the radar of the masses for an area players can control it, not the coaches or refs as intended. I don't blame the refs and coaches solely, the players themselves should have more respect for the game and fellow players. What is going to be done to prevent further instances? Or should we just roll over and accept it?

[quote name="oodooo" post="747532" timestamp="1264102310"] None as far as I know to this point. [/quote]  1puncher suspended 3 game 2nd puncher off team, assigned to alternative campus.  His punishment worse because he was not the one slide tackled and was on the bench at time of incident.  community of silsbee condemns actions of both boys.  boys are known to be good kids who have not been in trouble before.  Rumor is that both are facing charges
