Late by about a week on this article, but oh well.

MORRISTOWN - Sixteen East Tennessee high school football players have been suspended from school for bullying a teammate.

East High School Principal Gary Johnson says the students were in a weightlifting class for the football team Feb. 27 when they took turns punching a teammate on the arm.

Johnson says coaches stopped the students after they became aware what was happening.

The Morristown Citizen Tribune reports the students each were given a letter stating they would be banned from playing any sport at the school if cited for bullying again.

Johnson did not disclose the length of suspension.

Is that all there is to it? Seems to me like this wouldn't have even made the local paper in Morristown if that were only the case.

You do have a point. However, kids get picked on all the time. I don't see why it should make the news.
