pakdastands 20 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 I waited to see if someone would post on here about this, but they haven't yet. What happened last night? Can anyone clarify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Video is on Facebook and Twitter. Doesn't show who or what started it though. I've heard a Ridgeview parent made a racial slur, but I've also heard a Union parent was making fun of a Ridgeview kid. I heard a Ridgeview fan broke 5 ribs and broke his pelvis. Also hear charges are pending. What's most shocking is the woman who gets shoved down by the main aggressor in the brawl and seems to smack her head on the pavement. That dude, whoever he is, is not cool in my book. Liam McPoyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,550 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 I'm betting a few people face charges. Just really a sad and avoidable situation if adults would actually act like adults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixcat 2,916 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 Everyone involved in the fight should face a lifetime ban from attending VHSL activities and be forced to perform many, many hours of community service while handcuffed to each other.

BearsFan88 117 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 I don’t know a lot about soccer rules and penalties. I’m willing to learn. But yelling racial slurs is not ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dude, whoever he is, is not cool in my book. I dont blame him for throwing the woman down, he's fighting with multiple males and in the middle of the ruckus the woman literally jumps down on top of him and he threw her off of him. She got off easy imo 25 minutes ago, BearsFan88 said: Nope. But they need to investigate this fully. I wouldn’t be surprised if more people get charged. I dont see how only 1 person was arrested, 4 should have been imo. The one who was arrested obviously got the better licks in but he was far from the only responsible person. Also heard a guy who tried to separate them and prevent the whole thing is the one with 4 broken ribs and a broken pelvis, when they initially tumbled he got caught on the bottom and concrete doesn't have much give to it. Ive got very little problem with men fighting honestly, if someone is running his mouth then someone needs to shut it for him but take it outside/to the parking lot.

Mountain Football 1,532 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Kudos to the lady that held on to the Yorkshire Terrier. If she had let that dog loose more injuries would have occurred. Gridiron60 and Liam McPoyle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcat 2,916 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 I just watched a national news agency clip on Instagram of this incident. They quoted Wise County Sheriff E. Grant Kilgore "the rumors of racial slurs leading to the altercation are unsubstantiated. Based on eye witness accounts, it appears the match score led to tension that led to physical violence." Apparently, the scoreboard was incorrect, leading to arguments that turned violent. 1inStripes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can attest to the ridiculousness of fans being petty enough for this to happen. In 2009, I was referring a JV football game. A high school kid was operating the scoreboard and mistakenly posted a PAT rather than the 2-point conversion on the scoreboard. The "fans" became so unruly, a dad walked out onto the field, shoved me in the back while cursing me out over the incorrect score on the scoreboard. Not being fully aware of what was happening and thinking I was being attacked, I decked the guy before police arrested him. All because the scoreboard read 23-16 rather than 24-16. It amazes me how some people don't understand basic rules of the sports they claim to love. The scoreboard is a convenience in high school athletics for the fans. The official score is in the white hats shirt pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swva_havok_fan 1,261 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 So based on that we can surmise that Ridgeview fans whined about the score, Union fan got mad at Ridgeview fans and threw down.... Although the actions of Union fan can't be excused here, but still..... *sigh* Did Clintwood folks always cry this much? Cause I can guarantee you I never saw Haysi or Ervinton fans act like this, what say you @redtiger? As I've mentioned recently during basketball season, the few times I've went to Ridgeview sporting events over the last couple of years, the fans bellyache over everything: referee calls, referee non-calls, Abingdon being in the M7, Central and Union just existing period. You name it, they're going to gripe about it. Gridiron60, EH31 and Pigskin Fanboy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now most of them think they are experts on everything. The biggest problem and this will sound and may be sexist) is the moms. They are usually the instigators. They take everything their ignorant husband says in the stands as the truth and pour gasoline on the situation. Having said that, Haysi and Ervinton fans aren’t exactly angels either.
