High school seniors who lit up victory cigars at graduation ceremony kicked off lacrosse team because ‘tobacco is against policy’

This is getting ridiculous!

Two Massachusetts high school athletes have been kicked off their lacrosse team right before championships after being photpgraphed smoking a cigar at graduation.

Beverly High School students Nick Donovan and Dylan Jutras were both suspended from the sport for the rest of the season after the photo of the celebratory smoke appeared in the local paper The Beverly Citizen as part of their graduation coverage.

Despite both being 18, making it legal for them to smoke tobacco, the students were told their decision goes against the strict policies of the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA).

If they had gang raped someone the athletic association would have looked the other way.

Great title...........really got my attention. They knew the rules. They chose to break them. They pay the price.

Doesn't make the rule reasonable.

Its rather strange.

Geepers! I was smoking cigars by the time I was in high school and nobody was bothered by it. So sad that kids can't have this type of fun anymore but it's the rules so you gotta go with it. Besides, they are seniors and likely had played their last game before the pic was taken.

Yep. Much rather see a psuedo-classy bit of fun than the ubiquitous guy fawkes masks, idiot flash-mobsters or some clown thinking he's edgy by mooning the audience.

Get cleaned and polished, thank so-and-so for the tube of paper and then walk over to the prettiest teacher and plant one on her. ;-)


[...] ended their highschool lacrosse career...wow. :lol:

I stand corrected - Beverley is still in the playoffs. Heck, let 'em play, d@mn it!
