Robert Violante, conhecido carinhosamente como “Coach V”, treinador de futebol americano e atletismo da Bergenfield High School, em Nova Jersey, morreu na quarta-feira após um grave acidente na Taconic State Parkway, em Westchester County, em Nova York. Segundo o jornal americano CBS News, ele era um dos quatro mortos na colisão frontal que envolveu uma van que cruzou o canteiro central da rodovia e atingiu seu veículo.

De acordo com a polícia estadual de Nova York, o acidente ocorreu quando uma van Sprinter, conduzida por Yader A. Reyes, de 50 anos, de Long Branch, Nova Jersey, invadiu a pista contrária e colidiu com o Honda Accord 2024 dirigido por Violante, de 45 anos, residente em Granite Springs, Nova York.

A van capotou e pegou fogo, matando instantaneamente três passageiros: Odenis Balladares Martinez (20), Harrison Mauricio Reyes Rivera (34) e Bryan Aguilar Castillo (45), todos de Nova Jersey. Violante foi levado ao hospital, mas não resistiu aos ferimentos. O motorista da van permanece em estado crítico no Westchester Medical Center.

Violante era uma figura central na comunidade escolar de Bergenfield, onde atuava há 15 anos como professor de educação especial e treinador. Desde 2011, liderava o time de futebol americano da escola. Também trabalhou na Jefferson Elementary School, sendo lembrado por sua dedicação e impacto positivo na vida dos alunos.

O superintendente das escolas de Bergenfield, Christopher M. Tully, expressou profunda tristeza pela perda: “Coach V foi mais que um professor e treinador — foi um mentor, uma figura paterna e um verdadeiro amigo para muitos. Sempre colocou os alunos em primeiro lugar e acreditava em ajudá-los a alcançar seu máximo potencial.”

O prefeito de Bergenfield, Arvin Amatorio, também homenageou Violante: “Ele era mais que um treinador, era um mentor, uma figura paterna e uma fonte de força para nossos estudantes e comunidade. Seu impacto como treinador principal de futebol e decano de estudantes nunca será esquecido.”

What the jury didn’t hear in the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial

LONDON, Ont. – After a jury was discharged in the the Hockey Canada sexual assault trial on Friday, a publication ban on previously unreported details from the trial was lifted.The highly publicized trial of five former members of the 2018  Canadian World Junior team has been marred by a series of unexpected incidents — including an attempt by a member of the public to locate the Crown’s central witness, concerns that smart glasses were being used to illegally record the proceedings, and aggressive interactions with the media.AdvertisementThe trial will now proceed by judge alone, meaning that Justice Maria Carroccia will hear the remaining testimony and evidence and will issue verdicts on each of the charges.  Friday’s decision comes after a juror sent a note to Carroccia on Thursday that accused two of the defense lawyers of inappropriate behavior.Michael McLeod, Carter […]

Pushback on reseeding NFL playoffs? Why proposal to change format makes sense for league

Getty Images If Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong were here today, perhaps they would sing "They All Laughed" at the Detroit Lions when they said the NFL playoffs should be reseeded.Eventually, the Lions and other smart people around the NFL will have the last laugh when the league changes its playoff seeding format. It just may not be next week.The playoff reseeding proposal, first reported as expected by CBS Sports in January, will again be subject to discussion at next week's league meetings in Minnesota. A vote on the "radical" proposal is possible, but multiple sources indicate it's unlikely the proposal would have the requisite votes to pass for the upcoming 2025 season.That's a shame, but not altogether unexpected for a league unaccustomed to radical change. The proposal is a basic one: Teams would be seeded in the playoffs based on […]
