Weekend Sporting events dangerous for high school students?

In Anne Arundel, a high school in Washington D.C., disturbing acts of violence has occurred. The most recent act occurred at the Old Mill High School gym after a basketball game on Jan. 6. Because of the post-game violence, sporting events took place at an earlier time and on "odd days." There might even be a chance that weekend games will no longer exist in Anne Arundel, the Washington area, and maybe (sooner or later) the U.S.

Here were some of the highlights-or should I say "lowlights"-of the incident, fresh from the webpages of the Washington Post:

In the latest incident, school officials and police said a dispute between two boys over a girl spilled from the Old Mill High School gym in Millersville into the parking lot at 9 p.m., just after the game. A 17-year-old boy escaped from the brawl into his 1998 Ford Explorer, police said. Three youths surrounded the sport-utility vehicle and began pounding on it. Panicked, the driver accelerated, and the SUV struck the three youths as the driver left.

Are weekend night games a plague on society, or are teenagers today just plain stupid?

You make the call!
