Swampscott High School Cancels Football Game Vs. Saugus After Freshman Forced To Get Naked And Eat Grass On The Field Supposedly

BostonHerald – Swampscott High School has canceled this week’s football games as officials investigate “an incident” that allegedly involved football players. The Big Blue freshman football game scheduled for Thursday and Saturday’s varsity game have been called off, the superintendent’s office told the Herald.Schools Superintendent Pamela R. H. Angelakis said in a statement just released:

“On Monday morning, I became aware of an incident allegedly involving members of the Swampscott High School football team at Blocksidge Field Friday night. After speaking with the Swampscott Police Department, it became clear that the incident required further investigation by Swampscott Public Schools. From what I have been able to determine, there were no adults present at the time of the incident. Understanding that all the facts have yet to be presented, I do not feel it is appropriate for the football team to take the field representing Swampscott High School at this time. As a result, we have canceled Thursday’s freshman game and Saturday’s varsity game vs. Saugus. While the investigation is ongoing, it is not appropriate to comment further at this time.”

Police broke up the 50 kids and found 6 kids naked eating grass also may have been a Saugus jersey being burned on a cross that some black people didn’t like.

Listen Swampscott is a rough and tumble town.  Best little football town in the state. They take that shit serious. Picture West Texas except on the water. Well the Big Blue are 1-2 right now. It’s crisis mode. So yeah a little hazing is gonna happen. Couple Freshman are gonna get naked and eat some grass to turn the mojo around. Maybe burn a Saugus jersey on a cross.   Do you really have to cancel the game?   That punishes Saugus as much as Swampscott.   And no we didn’t haze like this back in my day.  We just beat people’s brains in.  That was our hazing.

PS – I’m not buying the black people were upset about the Cross thing. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be mad, but I think I was friends with the only black kid in the history of Swampscott.  Not the most diverse town of all time.
