Violence Plagues Youth Sports Overbearing Parents Creating Dangerous Situations on the Field
LAS VEGAS -- Excitement suddenly turned to fear for the 49ers youth football team as players ran off the field holding their stomachs and began vomiting
violently on the sideline.
Parents and coaches helped the eight boys, ages 12 to 14, into cars and
headed to the hospital, ending the practice for a championship game a few
days later.
No one knew it at the time, but the sick 49ers had been poisoned, casualties
in an epidemic of parental rage sweeping through youth sports.
