My bro-in-law pulled him out half way through the season for both safety and "you guys are ####ing idiots" reasons.
I coached soccer so it was a bit different, but do those coaches have any training whatsoever? How can they get away with telling kids to hit players in the head or just 'play through the pain?'

Is there no oversight?
