SWEPT AWAY: Five football coaches

SWEPT AWAY: Five football coaches at Mepham High School on Long Island were fired yesterday, in connection with a hazing incident in which several players were sodomized with broomsticks and other objects by upperclassmen during a team trip to Pennsylvania.
Three players will be charged with multiple felonies; the team had already forfeited all of its remaining games this season, and Thursday's decision means the coaches won't return next year. And just like the students at Indiana University rallying around Bobby Knight when that violent sociopath was fired for physically attacking a student, much of the school is defending the coaches and calling it an "injustice" that they were fired. Please.
And adding insult to injury: On Halloween night I saw a couple of assholes walking around Hoboken costumed as Mepham football players, complete with makeshift Mepham jerseys and broomsticks in each hand.
