Ohio State football player sidelined by sucker punch - Aug 17, 2009 | 11:13:00
posted by: Molly Gallagher
According to the Columbus Dispatch, Tyler Moeller, a linebacker for Ohio State, was celebrating his grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary when he was inexplicably sucker punched by a complete stranger. The blow landed Moeller in Intensive Care and resulted in brain surgery that will sideline Moeller for the season. When I read the story about Moeller's unfortunate injury, I was angry that a student-athlete would be forced to miss a season for such a senseless act of aggression, but was unfortunately not surprised. I, a 23-year-old female, have also been sucker-punched by an unidentified male without reason. No altercation, words or sideways glances were exchanged in my circumstance, and my hope--other than to bring to light that this does actually happen to innocent people--is that they find and prosecute whoever did it to Tyler Moeller. I had a nasty black-eye, but am extremely lucky compared to the injuries Moeller sustained. My thoughts and well wishes go out to him and his family for a speedy recovery.

Experience in multiple sports is great for a developing youth. However, success breeds confidence. Bottom line should be life lessons learned.
