    @Thriver mentioned this on Twitter today, and I thought I would pass it along. It’s the premeire issue of an e-zine called Light and Shadow.

    Another youth sport infected by sexual abuse. It’s sad that something that can do so much for teaching kids self-esteem, teamwork and confidence is, in fact, stripping that all away by victimizing them instead.
