Saw this one in Yahoo! Rivals today, and the entire story is here:
The principal of a Maryland high school pulled the plug on his team's soccer season on the basis of a flagrant taunting of a rival school they had just defeated in their state quarterfinal match.
After defeating their rivals from Dulaney High, Perry Hill High's soccer team went into the "Bernie", a gyrating conga line made famous in the movie "Weekend at Bernie's".
Many complaints were filed (some should've been against the officials, as every player on the Dulaney team should've been booked for excessive/inciting celebration (it'd be roughly the equivalent of taking off their shirts to incite the crowd), and the principal pulled the plug, ordering the forfeit of the state semifinal match...
... only to lose his testicles and reverse his decision later. My guess, frankly? The state association would've penalized the school much more harshly had they gone through with it. Remember: The only reason the miscreants get their sports is how much money the sports make -- even at the high school level.
The game was scheduled for Friday, re-scheduled for Saturday at 2 PM Eastern.
May they lose about six-nil.
