[quote]Police in Kamloops, B.C. are investigating reports that a teenage lacrosse player stomped on the head of another athlete during a game this weekend, possibly breaking a neck vertebrae.
RCMP Sgt. Grant Learned told CTV News that a 15-year-old Kamloops player was sent to hospital on Sunday around noon for treatment of a neck injury earned during a game against a team from Kelowna.
Police were told the injured boy, "was cross-checked by a player from a visiting team, knocked to the ground, and at one point after the play was stopped the visiting player had stopped and stomped on the head of the player," Learned said.
He added that he is not aware of the boy's current condition.
The injured player's parents called police to make a complaint, and now RCMP are asking anyone who took pictures or video during the midget-level game at Memorial Arena to come forward to help investigators.
Learned said police are trying to determine if the hit warrants charges or if it is a matter that can be handled by the lacrosse league.[/quote]

Violence? Lacrosse? Kamloops?
Uh, I take it was a slow day in the newsroom. This is nothing new here, especially [del]the ghetto[/del] Kamloops.
What an asshole. Don't hate the player hate the game.
Reminds me of when I used to play lacrosse in the 4th grade and some kid on the other team beat some kid on our team in the throat so hard with his stick that he almost stopped breathing.
What the fuck? I didn't expect any news from Kamloops to show up here :v:
Wow what a pretty cool guy.
The whole team should stomp him back.

I found that sentence fairly hard to read
I find it hard to believe that the kid who did the stomping isn't going to the hospital too. I play lacrosse, and if that ever happened in one of our games, that kid would probably be about twice as bad as the one who got stomped on.
It's Kamloops. The victor of the battle never goes to the hospital like a pussy.
HE goes to Cactus Jacks to show the injuries off to the sluts at the far end of the bar.
Waiting for soccer moms to demand a Lacrosse ban.
