Classless tee-shirts worn by Simon Kenton students

Featured Replies

How about the full story: The game manager for Ryle politely asked the SK students to move over to their side. The students did not budge. So, a Ryle coach told them to either move right now or the police would be called to move them - nothing said about arresting anyone. The students had their chance to be treated with respect and lost that right since they did not respect and listen to authority. (You should have seen the SK locker room after the game if you want to talk more about SK. I would rather focus on a much more formidable and respectful opponent - T). Good day.

 

 

My question is why would SK's coaches let that happen unless they was in on it to?

They probably were, the apple usually doesnt fall far from the tree.

If that is the case one more reason why SK should fire their coach. Everybody knows I am a huge SK fan but what they did in the locker room is flat out wrong if its true.

SS you mentioned that Ryle administration would act QUICKLY to remove such classless t-shirts from school property. Well, it was their home game and they are in charge of supervision, so essentially it was there job to do as such, if necessary. If they didn't that is on their administration

I really don't think that Ryle's administration is responsible for dealing with classless t-shirts (SK administration should have dealt with their students) - I can tell you last year the Ryle football team used the saying it is better to sweat in practice then bleed in combat and a parent complained that it was disrepectful to the military so said spirit wear was not longer allowed to be worn at games or school.

The same day that it happened? I highly doubt it. You're talking about two completely different scenarios.

Yes, it was taken care of the same day the parent called the principal - she saw the sweatshirt on a football player at another sporting event and called the principal the next day - he immediately sent out the message and that was that. If don't think I know what I am talking about you can PM me. SK administration should have taken care of this and the student behavior - this is not the first time SK students and parents have acted this way. I know quite a few people from Independence and it's a shame that this behavior cast a bad light on all of SK.

When I calmly approached 3 freshman age girls making the same shirts in the Boone bathroom before a game and told them they were representing their school in a classless way, surprisingly they did seem embarrassed. They couldn't look me in the eye. Maybe they'll remember that and next time they'll decide not to do something so immature. I think more adults need to speak up to our teens. Sometimes it just may make a difference, if not today maybe next year. Walking away shaking our head just makes it worse. Other kids see them get away with it. How about the boys from Simon Kenton wearing the paint on their back regarding "Travis and boys" at the game. Why didn't someones Dad step up with a cold glass of water or find some red lipstick and cross it out as they were walking through the Ryle section? I regret that I had not done it myself. I'm sure I would have had a bleacher of support behind me. Really, it takes a village folks.....these classless kids are our future. TThey will continue to get worse, unless we just take a minute when we see something going on, and address them calmly as adults. Of course they will mouth off because they are embarrassed, but just maybe it will change them for the better. Isn't that the goal? I'm sure writing about it later will not make a difference. That's my 2 cents.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make the game but if someone would have done that they would unfortunately left themselves open to a lawsuit in this day & age.

I'll tell you one thing right now, the administration at Covington Catholic would never allow of this.

And it won't be the last time either. But life goes on.

Exactly my point, so report it to the appropriate authorities and then enjoy the game. That's all that someone needs to do.

I haven't read this thread & probably never will. But I will add that I laughed when I read what the shirts said. They're inappropriate for a high school game, but what do you expect? These shirts are all over at Bengals games & other professional sports venues.

You just sold your self up crap creek my friend.:lol:

Are they allowed to wear the shirts in school?

 

The best question anyone could ask. Well played, Henry. :thumb:

Every school has a few kids that go to far and some fans that are idiots. I have been around Ryle athletics for the past 6 years and know we have had a few moments that I felt were an embarrassment to our school and community. But I will say the times I have witness it happening the school administrators puts a stop to it. Last year when we played Boone Co. in basketball, some of our students decided it would be a good idea to sit right behind the Boone Co. bench. Before they even got sat down an assistance principle from Ryle was there telling them to get up and get back down to the other end of the gym.
