at the possibilities from this. Have been away a couple of days and don't know the final consensus on the board. Last I saw many said it wasn't that bad and he should be able to play through the pain. No big deal. I've thought about it and there are several things that bother me about this. First of all, this isn't the good ole days of locker room horseplay and initiation. Most kids today are trying to get to the next level and Taylor is apparently very talented. Will a torn labrum eventually cost him an opportunity to play in the NFL. Will OM be liable for that?Secondly, what if he had landed the punch and knocked Youngblood out. What if Youngblood had to miss time because of concussion protocol or worse, a bleed in his head? The Abrams kid died during unsupervised workouts and OM was eventually sued. I guess my question is what were the coaches thinking?
