What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty! I'm in school for Criminal Justice and trust me I would have had some law suits against someone for this! Boys will be boys and it's rediculus that FH's boys have to suffer because someone accused them of something that can NOT be proved! I agree with you Quake!!!!!

I for one would like to see Rap music banned, along with Spike Lee and Michael Moore movies, shirts and posters, pants worn around the thighs rather than the waist, hoodies that zip up over the face, obscene language in public, tolerance of class disturbances and many other things prevalent in today's high schools, but somehow I don't think any of these things could be even discussed without the cry of "that violates somebody's civil rights". So why is the confederate flag any different? I think it is a travesty that the school that made the accusations that are now appearing to be more related to the officiating than the the racial slurs get to continue it's schedule but the accused school has to cancel their games just because they were accused. Anyone remember the Duke rape case that turned out to be completely false? Here we go again. If they ban the confederate flag I think it is a step in the wrong direction.

Both teams probably showed unsportsman like conduct by the end of the game. Either way one wrong doesn't make a right. No matter what decision the state makes over the game, it is unfair and that goes for either team. I just think regardless boys will be boys.

I'm sure these city dudes weren't just down for being called the N word and going along with it like it was all good. I don't by that either for a second. @ Jessica- By no way or means do I think Dunbar wasn’t guilty of cussing or whatever.

I'm not racist. I'm just saying I went to FH and graduated two years ago and nothing like that happened at all when I was a student. But if the referees did not hear anything then nothing was said. It is all hear say. And the entire "confederate flag" thing that was last year. You can not use that to judge the students this year. That's like saying because those boys are from DC they are gangsters because of the way they dress. But then again you have to think we are from cities where different races are everywhere. These boys are from a small town who don't really have many African American people. But seriously the referee's even said Dunbar's coach was yelling and cussing at him. I don't think anything is going to come up in the investigation and it is nothing but hear say. And I do NOT believe some kid from Dunbar started to cry. Regardless kids will be kids and ref's did say they heard Dunbar making comments to FH's boys! That is true. I’m not racist.

Would they really jeopardize giving up a game if it didn't happen. At Dunbar football is no joke so it's not like they don't care either way whether they win or lose. They do care believe me.

A Confederate Flag. I saw someone on my home from work with Confederate License Plates. My State is very picky when it comes to "vanity plates" I am sure this guy was just passing through. In my best Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along". This is crazy. Whether it was said or not. A Confederate Flag. I saw someone on my home from work with Confederate License Plates.

Come on FH has black players and where were their players when this happened. I'm sure they would have been made too. I think they thought they were being treated unfair with too many penalties so they quit. End of story! I truely believe that Dunbar is making this up!

I'd be more surprised to find out Fort Hill didn't say that stuff than I would be to hear that they did. Now, who really thinks the Dunbar folks are making this up?
