Children's organized sports is the single biggest area for child abuse. Religious organizations usually only have one or two adults doing something with kids at a time, so there's not that many opportunities per person to do abuse unless they can isolate a kid before or after some event. Whixh obvious they do often enough, but not at every single church all the time. Boy scouts have worked really hard to make child abuse harder to do, most of the ongoing lawsuits are about things from the 70s and 80s. Again it obviously still happens today but much less than people suspect, especially if we are just talking about sexual assault. But organized sports has sometimes no training or oversight whatsoever and tons of ways to isolate a kid in the middle of things. Plus way more people involved period, different coaches and refs running around and a kid can be in multiple sports. If a kid is bruised and won't say why they don't want to play sports anymore, their chud parent will just make them keep doing it and call them a pussy. There is a reason every major story about a serial abuser comes out of the world of sports, and I am tired of people just ignoring this. Organized children's sports is one if the worst parts of modern life, kids can't just play games with each other for fun, they have to be scored and monitored the whole time so they can get good for high school and get better for college. And that's if they don't get hurt in horrible ways by their coachs or teammates or just a regular injury.
