[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in a sports related field and the stories of what teammates do to each other would apparently surprise some of you. Yes, kids, not adults. The hazing and bullying and harassment and physical assaults…good luck to your kids if you think this doesn’t sound real.

And OP being concerned these kids have a high social status SHOULD worry OP. It’s not a sign she’s a troll. The power imbalance is a common factor in hazing and bullying and often contributes to why it continues to happen. Bystanders are afraid to speak up because they’re afraid of being targeted next. Adults don’t want to rock the boat or simply can’t believe (see above) that these great athletes might also be horrible people.[/quote]

This is the biggest problem.  Coaches careers hinge on star athletes,  not on being coaches or developing players. No coach is going to put the foot down on hazing and bullying because it means they have to kick stars off the team.

The solution is that  when these little jerks are caught, the coaches should be suspended- no questions asked. Didn't know? Too bad. You should have.[/quote]
