MARBLEHEAD - Law offices representing a former Marblehead High School soccer player have announced their intent to file a legal complaint against the town, school department, superintendent, athletic director, and high school principal for negligence in hiring soccer coach Steve Ingemi. Attorneys Robert K. Rainer and Chris O'Connor claim that their client, former Marblehead resident and current resident of Somerville Jacob Rainer, and other varsity soccer players were subjected to hazing rituals under the direction of Ingemi during the 2004-2006 seasons. The letter alleges that Ingemi would order each accepted player to the team to participate in the "right of passage" ritual known as "branding." The player would be asked to stand inside the goal and face midfield. Ingemi would then kick a soccer ball at "great velocity" toward the player with intent to leave a mark or imprint of the ball across their chest. If the player moves or attempts to protect themselves from the ball, the process is repeated until the player can withstand the blow."This so-called drill willfully and recklessly endangered Jacob's and other players' physical and mental health," the legal presentment reads. They will also file a civil action against Ingemi for assault, battery, false imprisonment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Dulac (Marblehead AD) also questioned why the complaint was coming now, two years after Rainer graduated.  O'Connor said that the issue has been something Rainer has been thinking about for some time and just became comfortable coming forward with it.

The Magicians strike again!  First we had the dad who sued the football coach for dipping and now this.  Seriously is there any place in the world with more pussies per capita than Marblehead?   I mean this shit is priceless.  Honestly what type of lunatic sues their high soccer coach two years after they graduate?  This Jacob Rainer must have an awesome life huh?    And the best part of this lawsuit is that this so called “hazing drill” sounds suspiciously like a real drill.    Granted I don’t know much about soccer, but isn’t playing a ball off your chest like part of the game?    So maybe this coach was actually trying to teach his team something?    But I guess when you grow up with a silver spoon up your ass you just sue anybody who makes you break a sweat and doesn’t tell you that you’re awesome all the time.   No wonder the Big Blue pounds Marblehead into submission every year on Thanksgiving.
