3-time NJ high school wrestling champ Anthony Knox barred from tournament over bleacher brawl involving his dad, other fans

“I did not make this decision lightly. I am fully aware of the consequences to the student-athlete. He is a senior and this disqualification effectively ends his high school career.”

I wonder if this will hurt his recruitment with Cornell. I think it should. I mean really stupid. And we all believe, at least most, that A.J. is/was bad. Shish.

Why do u think it should? I haven’t seen that he did anything egregious besides leave the bench area which disqualified him by rule. You’re comparing serious SA charges and almost killing multiple people driving over 100mph to this?

I saw this a day or TWOOOO ago and bit my lip about posting, BUT since it is here..........

I would luv to hear everyones thoughts on this???? AND of course I SIR IRON will learn you ALL on what you should be thinking!!!

This is of course going ONLY on what little details we have about this incident!!! What it APPEARS we know is, a fight broke out in the stands. The kids dad and Mom were involved.

So are you one to believe what this kid did was wrong????? IF he sees his dad and/or MOM in a fight, he should not go and help!?!?!? I mean I have seen comments posted elsewhere about this. From what I have seen, at least some understand that you have a GOD given right to defend your family!!!!

This GOD given right takes precedence OVER ANY stupid HS rule(s)

Regardless of what you believe about the kids reaction, I do not see how ANYONE could see this any other way!!! The kid did NOT start the fight. He saw his FAMILY in a fight and did what I would hope any good kid would.

I’m not going to lie; if Cornell doesn’t want him then send him on over. I didn’t watch the video and don’t need to to know a lot worse has been done by college athletes that was forgiven and most of those athletes go on to be just fine.

I get what you're saying, and even if the kid started it, he's in high school and unless there is a track record of this type of behavior, I'm a believer in second chances. If I were a coach recruiting him, I'd be more concerned with his father. That guy has toxic, live my dream thru my kid written all over him. The type that's been asked to leave an event more than once. We've likely all seen a parent or two act like this if our kids have participated in sports. Hard on the kid, parent gets in the way, and kids can get burned out or just go down a different path.

Sure, I don't know any of the inside story, so maybe coming across as a bit judgmental. But after watching that video, unless a guy was sleeping with his wife or threatening violence, that dad needs about 20 self-help books and a therapist.....maybe two.
