'This is not a fair fight': Fears for online charter school players' health as they get pounded 58-0 by defending national champions
On the internet, nobody knows if you’re a dog.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • An ESPN-televised high school football game raised questions after a mysterious online school somehow faced off with the defending national champions

  • Bishop Sycamore, an online school that is no longer recognized in Ohio, lost to powerhouse IMG Academy (Florida), 58-0, on Sunday in Canton

  • Announcers said they were told by Bishop Sycamore that the team had several top college recruits, but ESPN couldn't find any proof of that claim

  • The Bishop Sycamore website contains no information about the online school, its history, its staff, or its student body. It was listed as a school last year

  • It was later revealed that Sunday's defeat was Bishop Sycamore's second game in three days - an obvious safety concern given the quick turnaround

  • ESPN has since released a statement expressing 'regret' over Sunday's game, while specifying that the matchup was arranged by Paragon Marketing Group

  • Paragon president Rashid Ghazi said his firm was misled about Bishop Sycamore's roster and denied any knowledge that the school played days earlier
