is SUSPENDED and kicked off football team
A California teenager who rushed to help a blind classmate being beaten up by a bully has been kicked off the football team.

The high school junior was hailed as a hero for intervening after he saw the 'visually impaired' student being repeatedly hit round the head during lunch break at Huntington Beach High School, California on Wednesday.

Footage, filmed by a bystander, shows the teen knocking the bully to the ground with a single punch to stop the attack.

That kid deserved that punch imo.

Or at least the bully grabbed and pushed away, and then given the 'F' words chewing out.

Isn't that defense of others and legal?  I would have been kicking him until the cops showed up.

Devil's Advocate for a moment here:

It appears that it is the football team that has a zero-tolerance for violence policy.  It makes sense that you want your football players to not be goaded into a violent reaction no matter the provocation.

Personally, I think that the situation clearly illustrates the problem with any zero-tolerance policy.  Don't paint yourself into that corner.
