Shocking.  And we were told that he wasn't playing because of "concussion like symptoms". 

I think most knew better. 

Just don't understand why student/athletes think that is worth the risk.

Bad peer groups and shizzlety mentors outweigh risk/reward decisions for kids that age. It definitely sounds like that's Pig's crowd.

Unfortunately, I believe you hit it dead on the mark.
