I don't understand this

Wow. I never heard that story. Sad.

This is just unfortunate on so many levels.

I'm not sure what bugs me most about the situation--that the little girl did not know the basics of self preservation, that her parents were so clueless about her social development, that the administration and coaches were sweeping it under the rug, or just how freaking clueless the 'big boys' were/are.

Not to disparage any football players here, because what I'm going to say doesn't apply to a huge percentage. But because of the few 'big bad guys' who played football, it was just basic instinct to ignore/avoid them when we were teenagers,especially when they were gathered together in clumps.

You get these guys who are bigger and stronger than everyone else. They are expected to perform on all levels...athletic and sexual. Many times they are a bit on the 'virginal side' themselves, having bonded more with each other than any 'outsiders'...including females. Then you add PEDs and other drugs and you get a bad mix of volatility. No excuses...Just more education about real life is needed.
