Report on D C football riot cites overcrowded schools
A special committee report in Washington finds the Thanksgiving Day riot at D C Stadium was a serious racial breach caused by an overcrowded public school system with lax discipline and a pattern of violence.

The panel led by Dr Shane McCarthy cites administrative neglect and mass audience issues, blaming long‑standing school system problems for the clash between white St Johns supporters and Eastern High School fans.
