Yeah, his hair is washed out, but the memory of the meaness lingers. “Sticks & stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me” may’ve been a good way to taunt your attacker, but, words stay forever. Despite my 67 years, there are a few people that really hurt me with their words & actions & tho’ I’ve forgiven them for being thumping great idiots, I remember what they said & how they treated me.
Our high school team had a lot of big mean bullies. What ever they did from beating kids up in the hall to shop lifting in town, the coach got them out of. I had no interest in supporting them.
“School spirit” – “I’m better than you because of the random boundaries of the districts makes me go to this school. You suck for the same reason.”
Grooming for “Those people are hurting my profits – but I need you to go kill them because they’re different, and that’s bad!”
And yeah, most of my high school friends were from the town 15 miles east; my HS was pathetic. I was talking to my best friend from his birth (day after me) until about 6th grade in the hall by the display cases; told him I was looking into transferring to my current friends’ school because I wanted a better education. Quoth he “What?? How can you say this isn’t a good school? LOOK at all those trophies!!!!!” (Thus the “until about 6th grade” part,,,,,

Get over it! And it’s not like the whole team did it. The team represents your school.
