Ugh...wish I had heeded the warning and not watched these clips. Too soon.

Coaches and parents are the responsible parties here. Children do not understand the reprecussions of their actions. As a former athlete myself, married to an athlete, mother of two athletes, I am mortified. Unfortunately injuries happen in sports even with the best equipment, training, etc. Why encourage these unecessary violent behaviors?

I agree with Vini...we have apparently not evolved past the roman arenas. We should be praising athletic prowess (speed, agility, etc.), not brute force.

Do we know the resulting condition of these young athletes involved?
