Getting Jumped...

[CtLaxin]

Today my school had a game against a scrub team who we beat by a lot with our backups. So anyway after game one of the kids ( a fan not a player) was waiting in the parking lot when the entire team went and jumped this one kid while the coach just stood there and watched and there was no one from my school there and then the kid came inside all bruised up. So I was wondering if anyone has been jumped and hopefully not have jumped someone because it isso coward? Also should we think of a retaliation like going to their next game?

[26laxman26]

Well first of all, no i have never been jumped. second of all, thats terrible that the players would jump a fan AND that their coach didnt try to stop any of it. but no, i dont think you should retaliate because it could get way out of control and people could get serioulsy injured, save that stuff for the field, then jack the kids up!

[WinnytheSully]

Do your school administrators know what happened?

[laxkid891]

Do not retaliate. Refuse to play the team the next time. If the school or whatever asks why, explain to them what happened. Either way, I would report what happened.

[QBYattackmen15]

im sorry, most of the time i believe in taking the high road and stuff like that, but in this case, that is unacceptable. Dont retaliate harshly, Retaliate intelligently. im not gonna give nay ideas just for the fact that i really dont wnat to have any part in that at all. But you dont let scum like them do something like that and get away with it in my opinion.

[WinnytheSully]

I've always thought fight to back with words and authority works much better. Have the kid press charges, refuse to play the other team, tell whoever the governing body of the league is, and when you play them, make it clear as a team that your better than they are. Stooping down to their level doesn't make anyone better, just shows that both of you are cowards.

[Prof. Mushroom]

The coach just stood there and watched?!?! Wow that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Don't retaliate. You will just end up doing something similar to what they did. Notify the proper authorities. It's not being cowardly. It's being smart. It would be stupid not to do so in this instance.

I agree mostly, pressing charges is an idea cause not lax related someone in my area got jumped and beat up because she posted somting on another girls myspace and got jumped by the girl she posted the thing on and her friends and the videotaped it. She decided to press charges. So yeah just putting out there. But I would play their team again but play very aggressive but not to the point where the game turns into one hue brawl. I say fight with your head then plan it out dont be brash but plan than execute!

[WinnytheSully]

Yah, and if they complain about your aggressive play, say "what, we're not jumping you"

[MACDADDY]

some advice that i was given a while back was if you get jumped, thow wild kicks and punches. you are bound to get lucky and knock someone out.

That is some very sage advice you just unleashed upon us. I will be sure to remember it.

[the next 'one']

this kid jumped me in the locker room once last year. i walked around the corner and he was hiding behind the wall and hit me in the back of the head then kept punching. needless to say he had a reason (something with his girl), but he very very very strongly overreacted.

[WinnytheSully]

jumping people is just cowardly, if your going to fight someone at least make it a fair playing field

[cali feeder]

A kid I know who got jumped twice started carrying a knife on him. The next time the same kids tried to jump him, he flashed a knife and they took off running.

It worked, but don't do that. Report it to the proper authorities.

yah, and then the kids who jump him carry a gun, it only gets worse

[hvlacrosse311]

I would say to just get the coach fired and all the kids suspended or expelled. But if it ever happens again I think a beatdown is in order, you have to show them that you're not going to be pushed around, or else its just going to keep happening. You dont even have to fight them, just throw a couple cheap shots on them in a game. Just dont hurt anybody too seriously, knock the wind out of them, you dont want to end anyone's season or permanently injur somebody over a stupid rivalry.

Unless there's legitiment chance of serious injury, don't knarck.
Man Up, and take it up yourself/themselves.....


It's just the better way to roll.

[goalie33fan]

just humiliate them on the scoreboard.

[JohnsHopkins16]

There are two ways to react, and I cannot honestly say which is better.
1.) Play your starters for the entire game and kick the "poop" out of there team. Its hard to talk smack when the score board dosent lie.
2.) Play the game with fire, start playing rougher than usual. Yet then agian you are only sinking to their level.
Either way, report this to an adminastrater. This may start as a jump but will evolve into higher violence.

[sabreace]

You say no one from your school was out there- Is the kid who came in with the bruises really trustworthy? Was he the only witness to the event? Did anyone on the other team admit to it? That situation just sounds totally unbelievable. If he was the sole source of this information, I'd say he's probably lying; maybe he started a fight, got his *** kicked, and made up some B.S. to save face.

If it did really happen: Take the high road.

Refuse to play them again, citing the event as a cause.

Most certainly don't retaliate; it'll give your whole team a bad reputation.
