Bloody hell

Look, I'm all for supporting your athletes, but this is ridiculous!

PORTLAND, Ore.- The Oregon teachers' board reprimanded a high school football coach for licking the bleeding wounds of student athletes, school officials said on Friday.

Last summer, Reed gave students at Central Linn High School near Eugene, Oregon, 100 miles south of Portland, a pep talk about a coach who had licked and healed players' wounds so that they could rejoin the game. After the talk, he bent down and licked a cut on a track athlete's knee, the commission said.

I read this on someone else's blog. How gross! Haven't they heard of the rules of OSHA? Or HIV? (Not that HIV is easily spread that way, but one never knows!)
