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.”

Zico elege time “mais equilibrado” para ganhar títulos em 2025
Zico, além do otimismo atrelado ao Mundial, vê o Flamengo em vantagem sobre os rivais. Levando em conta a base do elenco rubro-negro mantida para 2025, o ídolo do clube carioca exaltou os reforços pontuais contratados com aval de Filipe Luís.

NWSL: Angel City-Utah Royals should have stopped after Savy King collapse
Laken Litman College Football & Soccer Analyst <!--> The National Women’s Soccer League said last Friday's game in which Angel City FC defender Savy King collapsed on the field should have ended following the incident. King, 20, required on-field medical attention around the 74th minute of the game between Angel City and the Utah Royals when she collapsed on the field. The game was stopped for about 10 minutes and King was carted off the field and immediately transported to a local hospital in Los Angeles. The club provided updates, at first notifying everyone that she was in stable condition, and later that King underwent successful surgery for a heart abnormality. Angel City said in a statement earlier this week that King’s prognosis is "excellent," and her family said in its own statement that King is "recovering well."The incident sparked outrage […]

Philadelphia Flyers outline why new coach Rick Tocchet will thrive: ‘We didn’t take any shortcuts’
PHILADELPHIA — It’s already well-established how tight the bond is between Rick Tocchet and Keith Jones. That was reinforced on Friday at Wells Fargo Center, as Tocchet was officially introduced as the Philadelphia Flyers’ 25th head coach.As the Flyers’ leadership group emerged from behind a black curtain for the event, Jones, the president of hockey operations, joked to Tocchet that he was “walking the plank.”Advertisement“I don’t know what that means,” Tocchet quipped, eliciting laughter from a crowd of approximately 500 season-ticket holders, employees and dignitaries.Later in the news conference, Tocchet mentioned how, as a player, he “really enjoyed playing for a guy like (former NHL head coach) Jim Schoenfeld. Maybe Jonesy, not so much.”Jones, who played for parts of four seasons under Schoenfeld in Washington, couldn’t help but shake his head, while simultaneously cracking up at Tocchet revealing that unfortunate […]
