This 'hero' who stood up for Ronen is now being persecuted by the public and dragged through the media. The way that this incident has been managed at this junior football level is not good...these 'volunteers' are not trained to deal with this type of thing. There should be someone appointed to the local footballs leagues who is trained to deal with it. These youngsters can both be scarred for life the way this has been treated, especially at their tender ages. How do you explain to a 'child' who stood up for someone else and told the truth about it that they did the right thing and should do it in the future when the media and the public treat him like this?Proud Auntynoreply@blogger.com
