TheShiznit Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 dont know the facts but this could have some huge repercussions in the sports world. discuss Riminds me of the Grisham novel "Bleachers" when coach Rake ran the boys incessantly and one finally took to the heat...and died. I would agree with this indictment if the coach denied the players rest or water....but absent that, I would think shiat happens and lets move on.

budlitebrad Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Has anyone ever been convicted in similar cases? I know when Korey Stringer's wife sued the league/Vikings, it was thrown out and she is now going after the equipment manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Won't pass judgement yet: "The grand jury declined to hear Stinson testify, listening only to a Louisville Metro Police detective, Stengel said" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
