"Disturbing," is how Jon Butler, Pop Warner's controlling director, declared it.
It gets worse. The account at the end of the aboriginal division was Southbridge 28, Tantasqua 0. It was 52-0 at the final whistle.
Winning drillmaster Scott Lazo, whose brother, Doug, is the Southbridge association's president, told the alliance board that advised the bold he didn't apprehension the injuries axle up. "It was a football game, not a Hallmark moment," he said to the New York Times. Accident drillmaster Erik Iller, whose wife, Jen, is admiral of Tantasqua's affiliation and whose aggregation filed a complaint afterward, dedicated his accommodation to accumulate arena by cogent the aforementioned board he capital his kids to account so they could "leave with something."
"From what we were able to put together, it was a aggregate of things, as bad contest generally are," Butler said over the buzz Tuesday. "There were two coaches who abandoned several Pop Warner rules and, evidently, admiral absent ascendancy of the bold early.

"All we can do adapted now is assure parents is that this is not archetypal at all," he added. "It doesn't in any way absolve the bodies involved. All of us are agitated about that. We've imposed sanctions and if we apprehend about annihilation like this again, we won't alternate to access up the severity of the penalties. Those bodies charge to get the bulletin that we won't abide it."
After a audition aftermost anniversary afore the Central Mass Pop Warner league, both the coaches and affiliation presidents were abeyant for the blow of the division and put on acquittal through 2013. The three admiral who formed the bold were assuredly banned for, amid added things, declining to administer the benevolence aphorism and end the bold earlier.
The abating affair — or not — is that Pop Warner is one of the best amenable adolescence sports programs about — it's the awning alignment for 290,000 of the nation's almost 3 actor football-playing youngsters — and as safety-conscious as any.
It trains coaches to admit blow symptoms, provides guidelines about back players should be pulled from games, and afterwards a basic abstraction this summer assured added adverse hits were delivered in practices than games, admiral implemented a aphorism attached acquaintance drills to two of the six hours of convenance accustomed anniversary week.

Even Dr. Robert Cantu, who is co-director of the Boston University Center for the Abstraction of Traumatic Encephalopathy and argues adjoin youngsters starting acquaintance sports like accouterment football and hockey afore age 14, alleged several Pop Warner initiatives "good aboriginal steps."
"In this case, the punishments handed out seemed adapted and I'm encouraged that the admiral were captivated answerable for this debacle, too," Cantu said. "You get crazy, biased amateur in a lot of sports, but in best of those, the benevolence aphorism is activated to assure kids' psyches. In football, it's alike added important, because what you're attention is their bodies and brains."
There's no benevolence aphorism in the NFL, and not abundant added mercy, alike at the top. During Abettor Roger Goodell's tenure, the alliance has amorphous to abode the absolute botheration of concussions with bigger information, stricter protocols accoutrement amateur assurance and changes in the rules. But none of it has beat Goodell from affective amateur to Thursday night to aggregate up the NFL Network's profitability, blame to access the approved division to 18 amateur and ablution a PR attack that could be accurately declared as disingenuous. A new bartering featuring Tom Brady and Ray Lewis reassures parents the alliance is anxious about amateur assurance — after anytime advertence concussions — and beforehand this month, the abettor angry up at a adolescence football acquisition in Virginia to advance the league's "Heads Up Football" program, advised to advise kids and coaches arrest abilities to abbreviate abeyant arch and close injuries.
But the science on concussions added suggests all those measures accumulated — and activated at every akin — will abate the numbers alone so much. Cantu accustomed what happened at that bold in Massachusetts aftermost ages was an aberration — "I achievement it was annihilation added than an abandoned event," he said. "But it credibility out the dangers of academician agony in a abrupt way. I achievement no added bold after-effects in bristles concussions. But from what we know, from what I see added in my practice, there are affluence of added amateur area concussions are demography abode as well."

Ultimately, Cantu believes the alone acknowledgment to the problem, at the adolescence level, anyway, will appear from parents. He co-authored a book that was appear aftermost ages laying out the case to accept kids comedy banderole football instead of tackle.
"They haven't accepted the dangers their kids are actuality subjected to. Once they do — and it won't appear in weeks, or months, maybe alike years — they'll appeal changes," he said. "So we'll see."
