I have to agree that, if the incident that flieger83 detailed occurred as stated, the instructors should have been brought up on charges and should be held personally liable for compensatory and punitive damages in any civil action.
For that matter, the "golden gloves" opponent who delivered the best down in direct violation of stated rules of conduct should also be held liable. In my opinion, even if the instructors ordered him to violate the rules, he had a positive obligation to refuse.
The whole incident, as related, makes me sick to my stomach.
