High School Football Coach Charged With Reckless Homicide

This morning I was watching the news and learned about an interesting story in Kentucky. Back in August a 16 year old boy died after an incident during football practice. Max Gilpin collapsed due to the heat during practice. He died three days later in the hospital.

David Jason Stinson, the head football coach at Pleasure Ridge Park, is being charged with reckless homicide. A grand jury indicted Stinson on Thursday. According to reports, about 5 to 8 minutes prior to Max collapsing, another high school football player at the practice collapsed because of the heat. Prosecutors say that should have been enough warning to stop practice.

I don't think the coach should be charged with anything in this case. I feel real bad about what happened, but it was an accident.

 

there are alot of question that i would like to know like was there any athletic trainers, was there some one that actually taught this boy how to train his body and mind to know what to eat what to properly hydrate his body and was there a emergency action plan please if you have any questions to ask me be free to E mail me because i would like to know alot more about what is going on about this problem because i am on of the ones who is trying to fix these problems that is happing to are kids these days and would not want to see another good kid go down on something that we can help them on

why would any body want to know about how we can let these kids hurt or let them be hurt when we can fix these propblems i would like to talk to these lawyers about this problem

High school football should be a learning experience... that is what high school is all about.

Maybe sometimes it goes from being a learning experience to a situation of winning at all costs.

Let's not try to second guess the prosecutor in this case, or under estimate the wisdom of a jury.
