High school football player accused of rubbing Icy Hot on opponent’s face

Johnson, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound prospect out of Los Angeles, allegedly rubbed the burning muscle cream in the eyes of an opposing player during a recent high school game.

Salazar returned to the sideline following the weird incident, at which point a photographer captured the victimized player being assisted as he washed off his face.

I’m starting to wonder if we should stop asking, “What is going on in High School football?” whenever something shitty like this happens, and start admitting to ourselves, “Oh yeah, high school”.

McFeat said the school is sharing the video and images of the incident with the media in the hopes that this sort of uncalled-for misconduct will cease.

Clinical psychologist and Pepperdine University professor Judy Ho tells CBS LA that young athletes will often follow a coach’s order out of respect and fear.

If you’ll recall, multiple high school football players found themselves in hot water earlier this month after attacking referees on the field in two separate (but equally disgusting) displays that made national headlines. Both took running starts. One player also contends that the ref used a racial slur towards a black player, a claim the referees lawyer adamantly disputes.
