CONWAY — The Kennett High football team will be shorthanded when it kicks off the 2019 season at Hanover on Friday due to suspensions that were levied on players for their involvement in the killing of a duck while at football camp last month.
The Sun has learned that between three and six Eagles will be suspended for up to three games. None of the boys suspended was a senior.
I share the disgust many people have expressed about the decision of officials to give a pass to the football players who lured, tortured and murdered a defenseless duck for sadistic pleasure. Everyone involved in this brutal behavior is a moral coward. Strange such people think they are "manly" when all they are is the opposite. Thuggery and protection of thuggery is not manly, just ugly. These football players violated the New Hampshire animal cruelty law and appear to have gotten away with their viciousness because football and blood "sports" are more important to those responsible than an innocent life beaten and strangled to death. Unforgivable from every standpoint for all concerned.
This is disgusting! What are we teaching these boys? Where are their parents? The school and the football team are teaching them nothing! Who taught these boys that destroying the life of an innocent animal is a game? This is the actions of future serial killers! Their punishment should fit the crime!
Just saw this story on WMUR and this is a disgrace!!!! The superintendent was so passive about this and downplayed this with "they're only adolescents." Like that makes it okay? The real deal here is that we need to protect the football program so, instead of expelling them like they deserve and instead of charging them criminally, like they deserve, they miss a couple games and do some community service? That's so weak by the school district, local police, and Fish and Game!!! The students at this school should shun them for the rest of the time in school and, hopefully, karma in the world comes back around and these kids find themselves in a position in their lives where they are getting beaten with a broom themselves.
This is absolutely heart breaking. What terrible human beings. They should have been kicked off the football team indefinitely & signed up for mandatory counseling. These boys have some serious issues.

Grooming serial killers. How nice.
3 game suspension? Seriously what did the kids to to avoid what they deserved? The Coaches, Principle should be fired and the kids expelled
