This should probably be in "Dumbass of the Day" but it's so absurd and bizarre that I thought it deserved a thread of its own. It could have been written by sites like the Onion or Cracked.

High School QB Suspended For ‘Inappropriately Touching’ Center
By Ross Kelly, CBS Local Sports/October 8, 2015

A freshman quarterback in West Salem, Oregon has been suspended from school for what has been labeled as “inappropriate touching” of another student. Garrett Moore, who is the freshman team’s third-string QB, said the incident happened during a team practice when he was taking snaps under center. Moore, who says he was instructed by the center on how to receive the snap, described the incident to the Statesman Journal:

“He wanted me to go way up there (with my hands) and it felt very uncomfortable. I was, like, moving my hands and I touched him and he started laughing. I guess I tickled him. I wouldn’t mean to. That’s kind of weird.”

Moore was called to an assistant principal’s office a couple of days after the incident and was asked to give his version of what happened. Then the principal talked to the alleged victim who then gave a different version of events. A security guard then escorted Moore back to the principal’s office and was asked if he tickled the other boy in practice:

“I’m like, ‘I guess.’ He was laughing when I touched him. I didn’t mean to say tickle. I said tickle because he laughed. He calls my mom, makes it sound like I’m a complete pervert and she comes to get me.”

Moore was then suspended for three days and sent home with the written referral: ‘Student inappropriately touched another student during football practice.’

His mom, who calls the entire situation ‘absolutely absurd’, said she will appeal the suspension to the Salem-Keizer Director of High Schools.

This is how a football coach described it to my son, who was struggling with fumbling the snap while playing QB when he was about 14....

"You gotta get up in there son....you are fumbling the snap because your hands are not in there....listen, the back of your hand is going to touch his junk, its just how it goes, that should bother you a lot less than another ******* fumbled snap. Heck, you two might become friends."
Funny enough, they did become friends and still are to this day. It is just part of the game if you are playing C/QB. Accidental bumping or whatever is going to happen. This is as absurd as someone getting into trouble for wearing speedos during swimming practice.
Our school systems are being run by morons.

What next? A guy on a swim team or dive team getting in trouble for getting an erection while in his speedos and being accused of sexual harrassment? God forbid HS boys with hormones raging might have a thought about their girlfriend or boyfriend or whatever, right? I mean, in HS, I dunno if I went 15 mins without something goin on.

And I thought hearing the commentators say great penetration was going inyourenddoe (did I say it correctly?) If you're that insecure about getting in awkward positions in a game that's full of it, don't play the game in the first place.

Garrett Moore says the center is a bully, knocking him to the ground earlier in the practice and kneeing him in the crotch later in the practice. Four days later Moore was called into the principal’s office, and after an administrator had a couple of conversations with him and the center, he was suspended.

Good quarterbacks know how to avoid a sack.
