Notwithstanding the incorrect use of "British": what the fucking fuck? Anyone hear anything about this before? First I've heard so I'm taken off guard, though not surprised - nothing against football or England per se, but it sadly seems as if any youth enterprise is prone to this.LONDON — An investigation into claims of child sexual abuse involving British soccer clubs has grown to about 350 alleged cases, a police group said Thursday, as the sport’s overseer opened its own inquiry into possible coverups spanning decades.
The widening investigations have rocked Britain’s most popular sport and its affiliated clubs, including systems of youth camps.
Over the past two weeks, several former professional soccer players have come forward to recount harrowing tales of abuse that they said they suffered as children and had been kept secret for decades.
