High School Hijinks
This is great -- three Ohio teens pull a prank for the ages: Getting fans for their high-school rival's football team to hold up 800 placards that collectively read, "WE SUCK." Better still, they captured the scene on video, and posted it to YouTube.
But wouldn't you know, the adults had to spoil all the fun. The kids got suspended, plus barred from all extracurricular activities for the semester.
Now I understand the need for good sportsmanship, and not wanting to encourage crude language, but come on -- don't these teens get some credit for creativity, diligence, planning? They spent 20 hours putting this prank together, designing the grid, making and distributing the placards. And it was all in the spirit of fun, no? Wouldn't, oh, an afternoon's worth of community service have been punishment aplenty?
Turns out the kids chose the wrong target. It wasn't the opposing fans who should have been tarred with the "WE SUCK" label, but their own school's administrators.
