We’re not even past September yet and so far this year we have already seen an alarming number of high school football controversies across the country. The latest comes from California, where a player for La Canada High School allegedly smeared Icy Hot on an opponent’s face during a recent game.

Angel Salazar, a player for La Canada High School, was playing Salesian High School when the alleged incident occurred. In a video, a Salesian player appears to reach under Salazar’s face mask and smear the heat-rub substance on his face.

“Our player came to the sidelines, and he was covered in Icy-Hot. Covered in his face,” said La Canada Principal Ian McFeat to CBS LA.

Obviously, if the alleged incident did take place – and it sure looks like it did – that’s a pathetic and awful display of not only sportsmanship, but human decency as well.

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. Another player was caught bashing an opponent’s head in with his own helmet, doing enough damage to cause the player to need stitches.

I’m not exactly where the honor went, but hopefully this string of awful behavior is a trend that will stop soon before someone gets seriously injured.
