Weird But True

Entire Prep Football Team Suspended For Scavenger Hunt That Included “Pic With A Fat Chick” As A Goal

The entire Creighton Prep football team has received in-school suspensions after it was revealed that they went through with a “risqué” scavenger hunt in their hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. Goals for the hunt included, but were not limited to:

- ”A group photo with a topless chick.”

- “Steal a yammaka (sic) from a Jewish synagogue.”

- ”Get into a yelling fight with a stranger in public.”

- “A pic with a fat chick.”

It’s a Catholic school, which is why they didn’t know how to spell “yarmulke.” It also explains why they got a case of the ol’ Jesuit guilties.

Administrators also learned that the players abandoned most of the objectionable activities in favor of those that were fun and silly rather than inappropriate, said the Rev. Thomas Merkel, president of the all-boys Catholic school.

There’s a teaching moment in here, I’m sure. Reverend Merkel?

“I’m disappointed in their plan because their plan is inconsistent with the mission of their school,” Merkel said. “I’m proud of the fact that they didn’t follow through on their plan.”

So, yes, presented with the moral dilemma of “taking a pic with a topless chick,” the boys on the Creighton football team couldn’t go through with it, as the Reverend proudly noted. I’m willing to bet, though, that since they a) go to an all boys school, and b) are 17, the guys on the team didn’t have access to too many topless chicks eager to have their photo taken.
