Madeleine Schaap, ex-wife of sportscaster Dick Schaap, is suing a private boys school for $1 million, alleging that their son, Jeremy, 17, was negligently forced to play soccer in docksiders, a popular moccasin-type shoe, after he forgot to bring his sneakers and, as a result, broke and severely damaged his ankle.

The suit, filed in Stamford, Conn., alleges Schaap fell and fractured his left ankle in three places in the mishap two years ago, subsequently underwent two operations and had a plate inserted into his ankle. He has 85% movement in his ankle, retains disfiguring scars and still feels pain, according to his mother.
