My nephew plays football on a high school JV team (10th graders.) They played a rival team last week. They beat the rival team last year as freshmen. Nephew told us today that the other team was playing a real nasty game - more than we could see, of course. Any time they would tackle one of our players, they'd take two fingers and jab them into the neck of our player. Three players have bruises from this (game was Thursday). My nephew was also choked as soon as the ref turned away after the tackle was called. Also one of our players was tackled, two-fingered in the neck and the rival player yelled at him to "Stay down, Motherf*cker!"
My SIL was asking what she should do. The players are afraid to tell their coaches, thinking they'll think they are being wimps. Us mama/auntie-bears think this goes beyond the normal "rough and tumble" that goes on while on the field. Older siblings/cousins have not experienced this type of targeted behavior.
Should the parents say something?
