Football Player Sues Coaches for Abuse, Discrimination

0:00A former Del Campo High School football player has sued two ex-coaches and the San Juan Unified School District in federal court. He's claiming years of abuse, racial discrimination, and being forced to practice with a torn quadriceps muscle despite doctors' orders to rest. The coaches allegedly ignored his injury note and publicly shamed him in front of the team, pressuring him to keep going or face getting cut. That made the tear worse, leaving him unable to run even now, and he says a crush's dream of playing college ball at a top school like Michigan. He also accuses them of using racial slurs and pushing players to report immigrant kids to immigration authorities for some kind of reward, which had. Nothing to do with the game. When he spoke up to school leaders, they hid back by mocking him with a fake team award for most drama. His lawyer says Admin's got multiple warnings but did nothing. One coach has already gone from the district, but they won't comment on the ongoing case, including student safety as a priority.

1:00The coaches haven't responded to messages. This young man wants real change, so schools protect kids from toxic coaches and the mental scars that linger, turning what should be a safe field into, a nightmare that haunts him daily.
