this can only be effective if the school isn't counting on the bully to help the school win various sports competitions over the next few years.
often the school is in a tough spot because the only reason some jocks are there is for their sport ability, that the school needs.
American colleges I can understand. But other than bragging rights, why should a high school give enough of a shit about championships to look the other way on bullying?
Middle America peaks in High School. Local games are televised and commentated even during the regular season. The TV series Friday Night Lights is a reasonable reference as an outsider
My school wasn't like that. I assumed Varsity Blues was fiction. Or at least, kind of outdated.
Can any Americans confirm this?
Were your high school sports games televised and commentated?
