-“So should schools seek damages if say a kid goes bezerk following a loss and breaks a paper towel dispenser in a bathroom, or a soda machine? If you could prosecute for actions on another individual, isn't it still criminal to damage property that isn't yours?”

Abso-friggin-lutley they should!!!! Go slam your ipod or phone on the concrete if you feel you need to wreck property!

I was at a tourney this weekend and was embarrassed for my sport at the number of kids that stormed out of the gym. Back in the day the sport taught poise, self control and sportsmanship. I would have never made it past my coach to throw a tantrum believe me, I tried one time. Like my parents, my coach corrected my attitude problem on the spot! And please spare me the "warrior, heat of battle” crap.
