Statement from the Owner of NH Kingz
Date: February 16, 2025
As the owner of NH Kingz, I want to address the recent incident that took place during our game against 413 ELITE. It is with deep regret that we witnessed a situation escalate into violence, resulting in unacceptable behavior from both sides.
First and foremost, I want to extend my sincerest apologies to the player who was initially struck. No athlete should have to endure such an experience on the court. Your safety and well-being are of the utmost importance to us, and we are deeply sorry for the injuries you sustained during this unfortunate incident.
I also want to emphasize that we do not condone or encourage violence in any form. The initial act of aggression should have been contained, and it is disheartening to see that it spiraled into a chaotic scene where players from the opposing team rushed the court and attacked our players. This kind of behavior is not only against the spirit of the game but is also detrimental to the safety and well-being of everyone involved.
The consequences of that night were severe, with multiple NH Kingz teammates suffering injuries, including broken bones from being kicked while on the ground by multiple players from the opposing side. This is an incident that we cannot tolerate, and we must learn from it to ensure it does not happen again.
In light of the events, I have made the decision to permanently remove the player involved in the initial outburst from our team and our facility. This action reflects our commitment to maintaining a professional environment that upholds the highest standards and morals—values that do not stem from the actions of any individual player.
We stand firmly behind our principles and will take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of our players, coaching staff, and fans. We are committed to fostering a culture of respect and sportsmanship, and we will work diligently to prevent any recurrence of such incidents in the future.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we navigate this challenging situation.
Sincerely,
NH Kingz
