you have past over the point, Sir 108 kids dead. there should be someone looking into this. if it's true someone should go to jail and all judo classes stopped till it's looked into. headgear or no headgear kids are dying.

In 27 years, not all at once. Were all of them from teachers? Of course it's too high, but I think that's less than football, which used to be much worse. Heat stroke alone has killed a lot of kids in football, never mind paralysis and brain injuries. Arguing for the immediate cessation and some sort of national investigation... get real. Safety measures need to be improved, and there may well need to be some changes in policy but your response is exactly what I'm talking about. That article was written irresponsibly. If the author wants to talk about coaches apparently beating kids to death, then why were none of the judo coaches interviewed? It's a pretty damn serious accusation to be thrown around without full investigation, I think.

A quick search has turned up no other articles by Mike Burke, the "Special" author of the piece. Is he even a real journalist?
