The MIAA Suspended Two Beverly Lax Seniors For The D2 North Finals Because They Smoked A Cigar At Graduation
Reader Email
Hey pres, a stoolie and north shore kid from bev here. A couple of my friends are on the Beverly Lacrosse team and were gearing up for their game against those rich pricks from Marblehead in the D2 North final Saturday. We had graduation Sunday where everyone lights up a stogie in celebration. The Beverly citizen took a picture and put it on the front page. Two of the kids who are on the lax team were ratted out. An anonymous caller rang up the principal of Beverly and the MIAA stepped in and showed why they’re hardos. They got suspended for violating drugs and alcohol conduct and are forced to sit out the remainder of the season including the north final against the headers. Both of which are 18 and can legally purchase tobacco products. Just thought you should know the MIAA and school administrators are complete and utter hardos and there needs to be an end to this.
This is the picture from the citizen that got them in trouble. The two kids are the bro in the middle and the blonde haired kid to the way right. Just wanted to hear your thoughts from another north shore guy.
There is so much wrong about this story. I mean we’ve got the anonymous caller ringing up the principal of Beverly to rat out two kids smoking a cigar at graduation, like everyone else who has ever graduated, and ended up on the front page of the paper. I cannot IMAGINE what kind of person would do something like that. It’s like the guy who ratted out Tiger’s bad drop only 10,000,000 times worse. I mean this caller didn’t bust them cooking meth in the woods. They weren’t doing anything wrong or illegal and they certainly weren’t trying to hide it. Yet the caller took it upon themselves to alert the administration, who the kids weren’t hiding it from in the first place, like a piece of shit.
And then the MIAA fucking suspends them? For a championship game in their senior season, they’re not allowed to play because they did exactly what every graduate in America does? They weren’t smoking joints, they didn’t drink a fifth of vodka then drive, they’re 18 year olds who had a cigar, as is tradition. I’m truly baffled. I don’t understand how a group of adults working for the MIAA can sit in a room and decide that this is the proper way to handle things. Not ONE person raised their hand and said “Hey guys, think we might be going a bit overboard here?” Not ONE?! I’m a pretty apathetic person but I think what I’m feeling might actually be genuine outrage. It’s a fucking crime that people who are this stupid are responsible for molding young minds.
PS – Here’s the MIAA contact info, feel free to let them know how absurd this is.
