Misplaced uproar

The folks in South Jefferson County are coming unglued at the seams.
A number of Columbine football players will miss their team's playoff game this weekend because they went to a post-playoff party last week at which alcohol was served. As they used to say in my day, that's a Bozo no-no. And it's not up for debate.
What is amazing to the sports editor for that group of papers is the uproar it is causing, that apparently nothing like this happens in Utopia or that their team is so perfect that nothing goes wrong.
Lest we forget. These are young boys under the microscope for this discussion. And young boys – girls too – tend to explore things that are best left alone.
Something got lost in translation, that's for sure.
