A high school player is being accused of rubbing Icy-Hot in his opponent’s face during a game in California, according to a report by CBS News.
High school football has received a lot of unwanted attention in past weeks due to the actions of a small number of players. Salazar had to be quickly rushed off the field to deal with the burning sensation from the IcyHot cream on his face. “I saw him hunched over, walking to the sidelines and I knew something malicious had just happened”.
Rahyme Johnson, a four-star athlete in the 2017 class committed to UCLA, is now facing scrutiny for allegedly smearing Icy Hot in an opponent’s face.
Johnson’s trousers had a white substance on them and he was seen washing his hands and taking off his gloves. Salazar washed his face and seemed to be fine, but the incident was the stem of chippy play thereafter in a game that already had a plethora of penalties.
“That’s the kind of substance that, if it really got in your eyes, it can do some damage”, McFeat told CBS Los Angeles.
