I was a freshman on the varsity football team (reserves) in high school and the freshman would take a lot of teasing etc.. from the upper classmen. But this case is going way overboard. I am surprised that some of the other members on the team didn't stop this guy or take care of him afterward. From experience I have found that big guys picking on little guys is usually not tolerated by team mates. But since they didn't I am more surprised that the coach did not do anything after he found out.
It would have been better if the little guy's team mates would have rallyed around him and made the big guy regret it. But if no one came (will come) to his aid then I guess an assault charge may be warranted.
