12-year-old, punished for 'Rayhawk' haircut, gets a big surprise

Awesome....good for him.:)

Good for him. Shame on his school for their ridiculous antics. Hopefully the Manatee County Government School (or whatever they call themselves) enjoys being a national laughingstock.
My favorite teams are Boston and Philadelphia, but I wouldn't be all that upset if Tampa won the Series.

This just proves how stupid public schools are getting
My hats off to Gomes and the Rays, they have more class than the school system

Stupid rules deserve to get broken

Re: 12-year-old, punished for 'Rayhawk' haircut, gets a big surprise
Yeah, a school should be dealing with 'distracting hair' over, you know, that pesky EDUCATION thing. :rolleyes:
Good for the kid, though!

Re: 12-year-old, punished for 'Rayhawk' haircut, gets a big surprise
Yeah...I'll echo what everyone else has said already!

That's probably the first time 'Gomes and class' appeared in the same sentence....but yeah I don't mind if the Rays win it all....their fans are a different story.

Has Gomes done some very "unclassy" things that I haven't heard about?

What do you have against Rays fans? Besides you being a fan of a rival team.

Re: 12-year-old, punished for 'Rayhawk' haircut, gets a big surprise
Probably the fact that they dont support the team. Rays fans are near the bottom in attendance, despite having a first place team.

Re: 12-year-old, punished for 'Rayhawk' haircut, gets a big surprise
Public schools can be so obnoxious. I have had stupid stuff like that happen to me, and I just refuse to acept the punishment most of the time, unless it makes sense. Like getting suspended for squirting a bit of water on someone, having a 3-hour detention for being "Disrespectful and dishonorable" To a teacher, damaging a little foam football and getting a detention. Don't schools have anything better to do?

Re: 12-year-old, punished for 'Rayhawk' haircut, gets a big surprise
Good for him :). I can't believe that they won't let people have distracting haricuts lol.
I will feel sorry for this kid when Boston beats Tampa Bay and advances to the WS

This was their first year as a team even near contention. It'll take longer than that to see the affect on attendance. I suspect they'll see a significant increase in attendance next season.

I'm in the high school right now, but I found a copy of the middle school's morning announcements for my school... and it said something along the lines of:
"Physical contact, even when joking around, is prohibited."

Re: 12-year-old, punished for 'Rayhawk' haircut, gets a big surprise
While there will probably be some carryover effect, I sincerely doubt that the Rays attendance will increase appreciably next year. The Marlins won the WS in 2003, and they were 28'th in average attendance. The following year they improved to 26'th, and then back to 28'th again in 2005. The Rays may be different, but it seems that Florida is much more of a football state.

I know! Me and a few friends had a snow ball fight once, and they gave us detentions, and said we disgraced the school. They are so obnoxious! My friend got suspended for hugging his girl friend even. I hate schools

Re: 12-year-old, punished for 'Rayhawk' haircut, gets a big surprise
Isn't the school creating a much bigger distraction by suspending him? It seems like now he'd be "The guy who got suspended for his hair-cut", which is more distracting than "The guy with the weird do."

the reason is because of sexual harassment. all she has to do is 2 days later when he pisses her off and they break up say he touched her when she didn't want to be touched... then its her word against his and its ALWAYS sides with the victim. It to cover THEIR @$$ from being sued because everyone is so sue happy now. and the snowball thinkg is a safety thing... it as a joke someone put a rock in 1 and someone got hur the parents could sue the scheool... It's INSAINLY stupid but they HAVE to.

"I've been going to Rays games since I was 2 years old," Sharples said, according to MLB.com. "I went to the second baseball game [at Tropicana Field] ever."
So will he be shaving his Rayhawk any time soon?
"Not until they win the World Series," he said, according to the report.
Say what you want about Rays fans...but how can anybody not like that?

I think that goes with fans of most teams. The obnoxious ones are usually the more vocal ones.

So, what if they don't win this year, then go in to a tailspin back to where they were before? How long is this kid willing to keep that hair? :D
