Alleged head-butter faces criminal charge
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — A Sheboygan man faces a misdemeanor battery charge for allegedly head-butting another man when they got in a dispute over rough play in a pick-up basketball game. The criminal complaint filed Friday in Sheboygan County Circuit Court said 28-year-old Seth Dodge and the other man, also 28 and from Sheboygan, were with a group that played Wednesday night at Farnsworth Middle School.
Both said they were physically aggressive with each other during the game.
According to the complaint, the other man confronted Dodge about a play at one point. After they exchanged words, the man asked, "What are you going to do about it?" and Dodge head-butted him, breaking his nose and opening a cut that required five stitches. The charge carries up to nine months in jail.
A pretrial conference is scheduled Wednesday for Dodge.

Just another case of repressed homoerotic feelings being expressed as rage and violence against another person who is singled out because he either evokes those emotions in the attacker or personifies them to the attacker.

I definitely would not have known how to have gone about spelling "head-butter". I wonder if the head-butters head hurts? I bet it does.

The man asked the question and he got his answer. Case closed. He should just be glad that he wasn't in the position to try the famous "You don't have the guts to pull that trigger!".
