so the best way to "teach" somebody sportsmenship you put them on the news and bag on payson, oh wow you would make a great teacher. he didnt "attack the guys manhood" on purpose were you watching #44 face during the play, i highly doubt it

ohhhh so you were at the game and you know for a fact that he did it on purpose did you talk to #44 you dont know anything "cheapshot" you should be ashamed that you would say that you don't..... you Can't know "for a fact" if you didnt talk to #44

I don't think this story should have been put on the news but isn't it funny how you think that this story was an attack on #44 and the only way to justify him and Payson high school is to attack the integrity of the boy who was the victim in the initial game. The hypocrisy is almost humorous. I was at the game and i know for a fact that #44 did it on purpose. yes this story has been blown way out of proportion but is the best way to teach these young men about sportsmanship even possible by pointing fingers? the fact still remains that a player got kneed in the groin and that is one of the cheapest shots you can take. to attack a guys manhood is not right nor acceptable.

Ironically, Brian Carlson and ABC4 dealt an intentional low blow by running this one-sided piece. Whether the original act was intentional or not, it was a shoddy piece of "reporting" and the only person who should be considered for suspension is Brian and and whoever let this onto the air in the form it took. Showing a short video clip to people on the street and then asking a leading question is not really a reliable source for corroboration. Whatever happened to balance and integrity in reporting. Disgraceful and embarrassing!

Payson high school newspaper/video kids are doing a follow up story showing both sides. It's classy and I think they are doing a good job of objective journalism. I am a timpanogos guy and I just feel awful for both kids. Embarrassing for both. This got blown way out of proportion by some people jumping the gun. Payson is a pretty classy school and Lunt is a great ball coach. I'm sure he handled it the right way. It's too bad that something that could be a good teaching/learning opportunity got messed up. I hope abc news shows what they payson kids are doing as a follow up. It's great to see what we adults can learn from the fantastic kids at both schools.

Way to get both sides of the story, I was a player in this game and I had eye contact with #44 the entire play. Accidents happen, and Abc4 should have waited to see our side of the story too.

This news story "Smacks" of Bullying by KTVX. At the end of the newscast, the reporter states, “The injured boy does not want people to attack the Payson High school player...." If that is the truth, then why did the parents have the story published in the first place? Secondly, WHY, Brian Carlson; DID YOU REPORT IT? It looks like the attack has already begun, and both KTVX and the boys parents are casting the proverbial “first stones!" Interestingly, readers need to know that this story was published without the support of, and against the direct wishes of the Timpanogas High School Administration. This type of media bullying, could prove to be a far more serious crime, than what our youth experience among their peers and classmates. KTVX has done terrible damage in allowing this 1-sided story to permeate the airwaves. At this point, it wouldn’t matter what the other school’s side of the story was. So much negativity and venom has been spewed over this chat room, the entire situation has become an embarrassing debacle. I think Nadine Wimmer needs to be called to see if she would be interested in publishing a story on KTVX bullying a high school sophomore! . . . . . . . Brian Carlson and KTVX, you owe Payson High school and #44 an apology.

This article is just garbage! All this story does is belittle Payson High and #44 making them the enemy. Timpanogos High School and ABC news should be embarrassed by doing this article. I have lost so much respect on both parts today, there is no way to tell if #44 actually had done it intentionally. Plus if you look at the other leg it goes the same height as the other leg. All this is retaliation from over reacting parents! If I were this reporter I would be embarrassed to do this article and story, this wasn't directed toward Payson High School but they made everyone in Payson High the enemy by pointing out the school sportsmanship policy like everyone in Payson was violating this rule, and there wasn't any evidence that #44 actually did it on purpose! Accidents happen! Garbage!
