Aaaaaand once again society goes so far out into the deep end that they may as well be on the fvcking sea floor. Yeah THIS makes perfect sense, wow!

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I think what they did was harmless; on the other hand (regardless whether the rule makes sense) they broke the schools athletic code. What if they had been photographed toasting with champagne? Would you feel the same? (and for. What it's worth, most schools define tabacco as a drug for the purpose of their drug free policies).

That's a fair point Eric and I would feel differently if it were alcohol one because it's a drug and alcohol policy as well as the fact that they are underage. But and here is the but, I agree with the Dad, this was in no way in my mind in line with the spirit of the policy.

Yea. Rules is rules. But gee whiz.....spank them harshly and let them play the game.

I can see where the rules were broken by the students but the rule it self is broken. I used to play lacrosse and there were no such rules and i live in New York where there is a strict law on pretty much everything but come on kicking them off before the championships, that is just crazy. I would not consider cigars drugs. These kids just graduated from high school they should make an exception or in the rules for the future.

If the kid is 18 he can do it. If it's on school grounds and you get caught, getting kicked off the team is a bit harsh!

Double thread going on this: Seems kind of tame for a graduation prank, have we become that stiff? Admonish them maybe, but to ban them from playing seems excessive. What did the school do to the other students smoking cigars that weren't on the team?

The owner of Nomad is trying to find them on FB to give them free cigars lol
