Cincinnati councilmember blames violence at youth sporting events on gambling
Thursday, the superintendent of Cincinnati Public Schools will answer questions from parents for the second time this week.
It comes one day after a city leader raised new questions about safety at youth sports.
Cincinnati city councilmember Scotty Johnson addressed the recent violence at youth sporting events, putting the blame on not students but gambling.
바카라게임 has covered much of this violence, from gunfire near North College Hill High School's stadium in September to a shooting at a pee-wee game at the Walnut Hills football field in October.
Those cases prompted new safety rules and schedule changes at CPS schools last fall. But, there's no evidence that sports betting played any role.
But councilmember Johnson, who is a former police officer, said at Wednesday's joint meeting that, in general, there's a bigger problem at play.
"Community, stop betting on our children, because that's really what's taking place," he said. "And that's why Cincinnati police have stepped away. You cannot have youth football games where three, four, five thousand dollar bets are taking place. People are dying for a lot less money."
Other leaders Wednesday said they weren't aware that this was an issue.
Thursday, CPS will be holding a town hall with Superintendent Shauna Murphy at Gamble Montessori High School. It will begin at 6 p.m.
