Donna and Troy Yarbrough, who filed suit on behalf of their minor son, were seeking in excess of $5 million in damages. This is a critically important civil rights case concerning traumatic physical and mental injuries sustained by a male high school student, according to the complaint. Each year numerous children are injured across the country participating in sporting events. A number of injuries result due to a systemic culture of winning at all costs. The Yarbroughs, through Houston attorney Alfred Southerland, suggest that children like their son are ushered into arenas where they battle for championships to the amusement of spectators and to win championships. The flaw, they allege, is that in order to win championships, child athletes are subjected to training regimens that disregard their health, safety, and well-being. Drills are conducted in practice that are dangerous and are known to cause long term serious injuries while under the supervision of the coaches. The incident leading to the concussion occurred on Sept. 21, 2016, when the minor was at football practice. Participating in a scrimmage, he collided, helmet-to-helmet, with a much larger player.
