I spoke to one of the players from that '90 team. The other side of this story is that the coach in question was gesturing with is hands and inadvertently struck the opposing player. The player, who was possibly frustrated, took advantage of the situation and made more of it than it was. The police came and took statements but, for some reason, didn’t take any statements from the Bridge players.
In defense of BridgeFA’s use of the word “alleged”, I suppose you should not convict an individual in this type of situation on such a public forum by stating that this event did in fact occur.
Only two people know for sure what happened: the coach and the player. I sure hope that the situation gets sorted out quickly and justly and that cooler heads prevail in the end.
