i typically advocate for women, for the impoverished. but there is injustice and wrongdoing everywhere. i found the following article on huffington post about the iowa football team. it caught my attention even though i don't particularly care for that sport. college sports need accountability, as do professional sports, and something is radically wrong with this situation.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — The University of Iowa confirmed Wednesday that 13 football players were hospitalized this week with an unusual muscle disorder following grueling offseason workouts.

The players have rhabdomyolysis, a stress-induced syndrome that can damage cells and cause kidney failure in severe cases, school spokesman Tom Moore said at a news conference two days after the players were hospitalized in a Iowa City.

The school has said the players, whom they would not identify, were "in safe and stable condition" and responding well to treatment.

Moore said the cause of the disorder has not yet been determined. University of Iowa physician John Stokes said the common denominator is they had all participated in strenuous exercise, which commonly brings on the disorder in otherwise healthy young people.
