Apparently this kid almost killed his teammate with a severe peanut allergy and a lot of people aren’t happy he is getting visits.
Texas WR Xavier Worthy retweeted the article below, clearly isn’t a fan.
quote:
AUSTIN – Two Lake Travis High School football players are accused of purposefully exposing a teammate with severe allergies to a food that could potentially kill him.
KTBC Fox 7 in Austin reported last month that Lake Travis ISD confirmed that students coated the teammate’s belongings in peanut products in October, but would not detail how the students were disciplined.
The student’s mother spoke to CBS Austin last week and said, as far as she’s aware, the students were only benched for two games.
“They might as well have loaded a gun and put it to his head because this is a fatal thing for my child,” Shawna Mannon told CBS Austin.
Mannon said her son’s teammates asked him about several scenarios and whether peanut exposure could kill him.
Her son told them, “Yes, it absolutely could kill me,” she said.
After that conversation, Mannon said the teammates flicked peanuts at him and put peanut products in his locker, his cleats and on his uniform. Her son broke out in hives almost immediately. His mom said if the products had even touched his face, he could have gone into anaphylactic shock.
“They put this kid in a situation beyond his control, where he was exposed to something that could’ve killed him, and it was done deliberately and maliciously, so that needs to be called out for what it is – attempted murder. At the very least, this is bullying,” Dr. Allen Lieberman, an allergist with a specialty in food allergies with children at Austin Family Allergy & Asthma told CBS Austin.
Mannon and other parents have spoken out at a school board meeting. They are outraged and think the act deserves more serious punishment, including criminal charges.

He looks like he has serial killer potential

He'll fit right in with the Gumps. Looks like they're first on the visit list to offer him NIL money.

I can't remember because old, but was peanuts always a deadly weapon?

I can confirm this story. I have a senior there. The mom of the victim went on fb for help bc the POS administration at this school are bullies. The head coach suspended the two perps for two weeks, one was a bye week and other was a cupcake team. There are a lot of angry parents, but the district won’t do anything.

How was that not attempted murder?

Eh this sort of thing used to happen all the time back in the day.
"WTF are peanut allergies? Pussy shite? GTFO outta here."
(I do not condone their actions and am well aware of the actual severity of foodborne allergies.)

I will give a little more background. The high school is Lake Travis HS, where Baker Mayfield played. Coached at one time by Chad Morris, now Hank Carter. The football team has won 6 state championships. But lately this team gets their arses kicked in by rival Westlake (where Drew Brees went) who is now the area team who competes for and has won the state football championship in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Lake Travis hasn’t won a championship since 2016. This peanut incident happened in the middle of the season, I think in Sept or Oct, but by the time it started bubbling up in October, it had to be stopped, not only because of the more difficult part of the schedule, and heading into playoffs (coach didn’t want his star players missing), but there was a controversial school bond up for vote in early Nov. The entire bond was about sports facilities, and it had failed once already. The campaigning for this bond was insane. $143 mill for a new football stadium and other pet projects. They couldn’t have it fail twice so they hushed this with the quickness. Needless to say it passed.

Seems like she's lying. If he was deathly allergic to peanuts, what she is describing would have surely killed him.
Seems like maybe he's not actually deathly allergic?

OU cut ties early on he wants to be at OU ... not worth it.

Sounds like a real dick...but can he rush the passer without throwing peanuts at him?
Posted on 2/21/24 at 2:14 am to diddlydawg7
Did the police get involved?
Posted on 2/21/24 at 4:39 am to diddlydawg7
Hopefully he gets jumped at each visit

The parents are within their rights to press charges; the school can't stop them from doing so.

I mean UGA took a player that put his jizz in some teammates water bottle.
Also, wasn't George Pickens accused of whooping the hell out a small kid in hs?

Just at a glance that kid doesn’t look like a beast SEC caliber DL. He looks more like a B12 quality player

The explosion in peanut allergies and the SUPERKARENS who go with them is ironic because more studies show that PARENTS are the reason for the increase in kids being allergic because they are such nazis in eliminating exposure early on in life. Multiple studies have revealed minimal or no reaction to peanuts through either inhalational or cutaneous routes for those who have become allergic..

In the past several years, in keeping with the dual-allergen exposure hypothesis, evidence has emerged that early ingestion of peanut has a role in the prevention of peanut allergy. In 2008, an observational study revealed a 10-fold higher prevalence of peanut allergy among Jewish school-aged children in the United Kingdom compared with Jewish school-aged children in Israel (P < .001), with the major difference between the populations being age at introduction of peanuts. Peanut was introduced more commonly in the first year of life and fed more regularly as part of the diet in Israel than in the United Kingdom. In 2015, the Learning Early About Peanut Allergy (LEAP) trial, a randomized controlled trial of 640 infants at risk for peanut allergy due to severe eczema and/or egg allergy, provided high-level evidence that early ingestion of peanut (between 4 and 11 months of age) reduced peanut allergy by up to 80% compared with peanut avoidance until 5 years of age. A strong protective effect with early peanut introduction was seen in infants with both negative and mildly positive results on the peanut skin prick test (SPT), suggesting a primary and secondary preventive effect. In a follow-up study to LEAP (LEAP-On), 1 year of peanut avoidance after 5 years of age did not increase the risk of peanut allergy between groups (P = .25), suggesting longevity of this protective effect. A recent meta-analysis on timing of allergenic food introduction and allergy prevention revealed moderate-certainty evidence (2 trials; 1550 participants) that early peanut introduction (between 4 and 11 months of age) reduces the risk of peanut allergy (P = .009).

So the potential charges range from attempted murder to bullying? My what a broad swath of charges.
That being said, these kids are assholes and deserve to be dealt with as such.
