Have you ever watched someone get the shit beat out of them and there was nothing you could do? You feel helpless, sad, and pissed off; especially if it is someone you love. Before you think that I watch someone get their assed kicked let me say that it was a game and she was not actually beaten up. So Delta Zig had their Egyptian Expedition last week and it was concluded by field games with the sororities. Egyptian Expedition is their philanthropy. Sarah participated in one of the field games with her sorority. It was called gladiator. It was exactly like the game from American Gladiators when the challengers would have to try and get balls into bins before the gladiator knocked the ball all of their hands or stopped them in some way. Well as you can see in class, Sarah not very big. I missed her first match of Gladiator and she said she did well; she had a few slide tackles and played aggressively. I was proud of her. I am glad that she felt good about how she played. I watched her next two matches and let me say that it looked brutal. The first Gladiator battle had these two huge defenders out on the field. These girls were bigger than me so they towered over Sarah. As she would try and run around them they would put her on the ground somehow either by throwing her, pulling her shirt, or just pushing her. All they were supposed to be doing is pulling a flag off of her from around her waist. Her head hit the trash cans a few times which looked horrible from where I was. And what made it worse for me was a girl beside me was giving them a hard time for not getting up fast enough or putting their flags back on fast enough. That just frustrated me! Then in the next game some %#$&@ kept throwing her flag across the field when they were only suppose to drop them where they grabbed it at. I felt so bad for Sarah and it was very difficult to watch her being thrown on the ground and getting frustrated. I was so proud of her though. She never gave up and would always get up as fast as she could. I know she had fun, but I hope she never decides to do something like that again.

I've never seen that happen to someone. In high school or middles school there were fights but they were usually over after a punch or two because someone broke it up.
ReplyDeleteI've never really seen anything like that. It really irritates me though when people are playing a game, like they were in this story, and become jerks and begin to abuse the rules or the other players.
ReplyDeleteHeck ya James I used to love to watch that American Gladiator show! Now this version sounds kind of intense but I'm sure after it was all over it was fine.
