Charley Nelson (that's me!) is going to write one more blog about the situation in Sayreville. Not that Sayreville in and of itself is that important of a story. No, what's important is what the situation says about our society and the over-emphasis ("over the top" one might say) we place on school sports.

I had a couple e-mails after my last blog saying, essentially, you can't really blame the coach. He didn't know what was going on. That's the point, people. He should have known what was going on. That's the law as a matter of fact. If a teacher fails to recognize that a pupil of theirs is being abused, that teacher can be held accountable for it.

I think the most damning thing one can say about George Najjar in this situation is that not one member of his team, not one victim, not one witness, not one ANYBODY, felt that they could go to him and tell him what was going on. NOT ONE!

Why not?

Do the right thing, Najjar. Resign. Commitment and Character.
