(Associated Press) A town that found encouragement in its winning high school football team after the devastation of Superstorm Sandy was left to absorb another blow today after school officials canceled the season over allegations of bullying, intimidation and harassment among players.
“There was enough evidence that there were incidents of harassment, of intimidation and bullying that took place on a pervasive level, on a wide-scale level and at a level at which the players knew, tolerated and generally accepted,” Superintendent Richard Labbe told reporters Monday night. “Based upon what has been substantiated to have occurred, we have canceled the remainder of the football season.”
