Yeah, these wreckless police should be doing their jobs without with consulting with NFL agents first. It could cost that guy money fcs!

I think I was misremembering that story. Was not a sexual assault just cut throat training regiment.

I went to Oregon and this is the first I’m hearing of sex trafficking allegations about the track team/staff. I wasn’t able to find anything online. Can you provide a source?

Predators will find ways to be predators…
Elite sports involves a lot of kids/teens being alone with their coaches. Even outside of locker rooms, parents just leave their kids to train for 2-3+ hours with no parental supervision. Just kids and coaches - because coaches, especially successful ones, are respected authority figures.
Unfortunately as well SafeSport is very underfunded and underpowered to do shit. In figure skating there’s been several coaches who SafeSport has banned, only for said coaches to sue SafeSport and get a paltry punishment for their crimes - and since SafeSport is the ultimate authority other than the legal system, the sport’s organizing body can do nothing to overturn either one for a harsher sentence.
The thing I am happy about is that this issue is being brought to light and something will be forced to change in the US. I can only imagine what’s happening in places like Russia and China where parents are straight up banned from some training facilities and some underaged athletes live in dorms year round…

Reply to comment by Nadenkend440 in IOC details Russia stance for Olympics, cites human rights by Srishanvi
It's part of a broader question of what steps (if any) the IOC, or any sports regulatory body, should take against individuals or teams based solely on their nationality.

I love that he did the classic "knees on the grass, pump the fists" celebration move. I feel like that part is more exciting than getting the goal!

Yeah, Oregon and Nike were slowly killing their female athletes. Combination of overworking and malnutrition so they would look good on Nike ads.
