'Ok,Ok...you peeps got this all wrong already, stop badmouthin' me, Stop It! Here's what happened, and I 'promise on my Mother's eyes it's the Truth. You see, that fool cracker had been callin' me the 'N' word all day long, annnnd he had been, according to my mommy he had been 'spearing' me right in my belly with his helmet. Now That Hurts! And it hurts my feelings because That's not professiona...l like I, myself, am. Well, somehow during tje game we 'accidentally' bumped into one another. Gosh, I didn't even realize it was Him until after the game. Anyway, I quickly saw that my opponent, my good friend by the way, was in the process of tumbling forward, fearing for his immediate safety, as I did Not wish for him to strike his head on the hard, ground and risk a possible concussion, and so I reached out for him trying to slow his forward momentum. Somehow, my hand became tangled up in his helmet which sadly then slipped off his head. In my hast to save my friend from a potential head injury, I attempted to put his helmet back on his now dangerously exposed head but due to his, and my Own forward momentum, I accidentally brushed the side of his head with the helmet, and luckily causing only a tiny scrape on his new helmet. If Everyone would bother watching the video clip you would see that I speak very truthfully. I never lie, just ask my mother! I'm quite sad about this trivial accident, and I look forward to getting back in the game and hopefully 'Saving' another players life.' :/ :/ BuddyBlack
High School Football Player Hits Opponent In The Head With Helmet (Video)
The New Jersey High School football player who removed his opponents helmet on the field and then hit him on the head with it has been taken off the team and his actions are under investigation.
Linden High School defensive lineman Fritz Moncion, 18, was caught on video at their game Sept. 11 removing the helmet of an Immaculata High School defensive tackle during a play, and then hitting him with it in the head before throwing it aside (video below).
Anita McDuffy, Moncion’s mother, claims it was all an accident, reports The Daily Mail. She also noted that the defensive tackle had been calling her son the n-word.
“He really is apologetic about this. He said his hand got stuck in the helmet. I believe in my child,” McDuffy said. “If it was so bad, which it was a bad incident, they should have taken him out of the game. They allowed him to play the third and fourth quarter. He apologized to the student.”
Moncion was penalized during the game for unsportsmanlike conduct but because the referee did not see the hit, which took place away from the play, he was not removed from the game.
According to family friend Dondi Givens, Moncion had complained to the referee during the game that the Immaculata High School player had been spearing him, or driving head first with his helmet.
It was the spearing that upset Moncion on the field, and not the alleged use of the n-word.
“Things like this happen in football,” Salaam Israel, Director of the Elizabeth-based United Youth Council, said. “He didn't go up to hurt this kid. They were two bulls tangling.”
The injured player went to a local hospital where he received ten stitches for his wound.
The video was brought to the attention of Linden school officials, the Linden police department, and the NJSIAA, reports NBC New York.
"Once we reviewed the videotape, we felt it necessary to contact Linden officials, who in turn have been very cooperative and apologetic,” Immaculata High School's Athletic Director, Thomas Gambino, said.
Linden’s Superintendent, Danny Robertozzi, said Moncion has been removed from the football team due to his behavior and the Board of Education is "pursuing the severest disciplinary measures permitted under law.”
"The brutal action taken by this young man is simply unacceptable and will not be condoned," Robertozzi’s statement continued.
