OK, a suddenly disappointed and angry 18-year-old "kid" impulsively throws a bottle which unfortunately does some serious damage. How serious we shall see. I recently had a relative whose life was changed dramatically and forever as a result of ONE such blunt force trauma to the head.
I don't want to pick on youth per se, so let's just say people sometimes do stupid things. But the question is WHAT ENVIRONMENT IS FOSTERING SUCH VIOLENT BEHAVIOR AND ALLOWING IT TO FESTER? I for one hope this incident leads to some serious dialogue between the two universities and their leadership, dialogue that leads to emphatic positive change. This unhealthy fan behavior cannot continue. Sportsmanship applies to fans as much as athletes.
I also hope that both parties (bottle thrower and victim) come out of this fully healed. Likewise for the fan bases.
