High school basketball players brutally beaten for Tebowing

Two South Carolina boys basketball players were slammed to the ground, punched and kicked “to the point of vomiting” for Tebowing during the game.

Following a 20-point win, the Wando (S.C.) students were beaten by fans of West Ashley (S.C).

The students celebrated during the game by getting down on one knee in Tebow’s signature pose.

The incident was first reported by the Charleston Post and Courier.

that caused it. They make the argument that since "A" happened, it caused "B", leaving out actions C-Z.

Nothing more than rivalry bullshit and Tebowing had nothing to do with it.

The incident marked the second consecutive year that the contest has turned violent, raising concerns that security isn't sufficient. In January 2010, a Wando parent was charged with punching a West Ashley teacher.
