That'll Teach Them To Lose A Meaningless Sporting Event
-
Some Massachusetts high school hockey coaches are under suspension amidst allegations that they denied players water and food to punish them for losses. In one case, after losing a road game, the team was denied food for 12 hours as punishment. If that's what they did, it's child abuse. It's abuse no matter how old the players are. And you know that for every case like this we hear about, there are plenty that have been blown off with "oh, they're just trying to toughen the kids up." Whether it's a case like this or something as extreme as Penn State or the gymnastics horror, there are way too many situations in which the coaches and doctors and trainers entrusted with young people's lives are predators or sadists.
