He was right, he was right about everything, they would have done something anyway, he probablly stopped them from seriosly hurting themselves and looses his job for it. That's so wrong.

I think the right thing would have been for him to tell these guys to wait until they're adults and out of their parents' houses and if they still want to brand themselves at that time, to go to get it professionally done so they don't get skin infections. Even if the football players still went and branded themselves anyway, he wouldn't have been there and he wouldn't be a liability to the school because he had given the football players the correct advice (wait until you're older, wait until you're out on your own, go to a professional brander). And maybe, by telling them about the risk of infection if the branding is done by an amateur, the guys that are still determined to get a brand right then and there would have gone and gotten it done at a tattoo/branding/piercing parlor.
