this is not a thread for being goony about sports in the abstract, it's about a corrupt as hell system in the real world that has destroyed real lives and needs fixing one way or another. posting "sportsball" in here is a punishable offense.

It's almost at the point where all young athletes need an independent 'chaperone' who monitors all aspects of their training/health to make sure they aren't overworked, bullied, or abused. Because without wishing to be rude, their parents clearly aren't doing that.

Naturally there would be a ton of problems with that in practice, but these people just need a single person in their lives that's looking out for their welfare above their performance.

to bring in an unrelated (but related) case, eliza dushku had a handler/chaperone during the filming of true lies but that didn't keep a stunt coordinator from raping her. it's not gonna go away until we destroy the structures that allowed the creeps to fester in the first place and cultivated them after

importing drama from other forums, especially in a thread about a soul-deadening child abuse scandal, is grounds for banning.
