I have seen many people and coaches removed from press boxes over the years. Many for foul language(in NFHS games this is an UNS foul if it is a coach), or directed at players or officials, MANY schools have NO tobacco policies and I have seen coaches removed for this(officials have no control over this)

Game management can police the ENTIRE facility where a game is being played. People get removed for alcohol, drugs, tobacco, foul or abusive language (whether directed at players, coaches, fans or officials) oh and my favorite urinating under the bleachers.

Profanity"?? LOL. Do they arrest parents for cussing out the coaches all game? Having a sheriff come up to you for using profanity is like living in a ultra Muslim country. They do the same there.
they didn't get arrested for cursing, they were being removed from the press box for it and can be removed from the game(DQ under NFHS and LHSAA policy and rules), they and ANYONE can be arrested for not following instructions given by a LEO or game management at that point. I know of a person that had been removed from a HS in BR twice and was later charged with trespassing when he came back again. Being a coach or paying admission does not give one the right to be a vile hooligan. Nearly every venue also has posted rules about such behavior.

Smokeless tobacco use in the bleachers generally takes care of the guys pissing under the bleachers.

It’s a high school football game, not church. Cussing from coaches and players is always going on. The FP people should have just dealt with it. They cuss all the time too. They were just mad cause they were losing. Typical high school BS, where Karen’s get all emotional cause little Jimmy’s team just isn’t that good.

The Carrol coaches should have never got physical with the law though. In my opinion though, seems like emotions got the best of everyone. Blows my mind how people always let their emotions get to them during a high school sporting event. If they really cared about it being a “family environment” then they wouldn’t have done all the shite they did. FP people were escalating things, so they’re not so innocent.

So coaches getting physical with an officer at a game is a nonstory?


The sheriff, in an attempt to violate the coaches first amendment rights, ran to the press box and picked a fight. The video was of such poor quality that even WordStar doesn't have it.

All this boils down to is, is cursing against the law? If they are not breaking laws, why is the Sheriff approaching them? Trashy, Ye. Against the law will probably be seen, as lawyers are sprinting to the coaches now.

hey downvote queers. Answer the question instead of downvoting and flitting away to the monkey pox pile. Is cursing against the fricking law?

Some of you have obviously not been to a high school football game.

Most press boxes at high schools house both teams. Most are attached directly to the bleachers with open windows. The fans are within arms reach. Yes f bombs will be dropped but doing it religiously during the game around kids in the stands will get parents to speak up.

So know you have a group that was routinely warned and could have easily let up on the language but chose not to.

I would like to see their language in their press box by their fans.

I know coaches in press box and the reserved coach's family seats are right there. They are not gonna sling f bombs all game in front their family.

It's called respect. And we know where that goes.

If you think it is ok to shout F bombs around families with young kids then not only are you an idiot, but you are a trashy idiot.

I’ve been to plenty of high school games before. Most of the games I’ve been to, the stadiums and schools have full sized, and closed pressboxes.

Is it against the law to cuss or something? Once again, it’s football, and not only that, but it seems that no one had a problem until it was clear FP was going to lose. Guarantee you people were jeering at them and making it all worse, so that they could show these coaches what a “family environment” looks like.

Yeah but slinging F bombs in front of their own families is ok, but when opposing coaches do it, then it’s just too much. How will these people ever recover to hearing cursing.

And it goes both ways too.

it is the home team’s press box and they extend the courtesy of allowing visiting coaches the use of their facility at their discretion and LHSAA and NFHS guidelines

press boxes usually have a mix of people in them, some official and some unofficial, including HS students and kids. the home team has the right to deny access to the press box for the visitor if they act in a way that causes them to forfeit their access. if the home team coaches use the press box, then they have to offer it to the visitor as well but the home team can force the visitors to leave if they violate NFHS code of conduct.

I saw a very tense situation in an open room press box where the visiting coaches were on one end, the home coaches were on another end and a home team parent was on the PA in the middle. The visiting coaches were very loud and demonstrative talking about schematically attacking a home DB that was the son of the PA guy. one of the loudest visiting coaches was TOLD to leave, not asked and he complied. but it was very tense and ugly for a while

radio has to get permission from the home team to use the press box and I have seen instances where the radio crew was outright denied access to the press box or denied the permission to broadcast by the home team.

profanity in an open press box is an easy one, that is like going to someone’s place of business and setting up in the front and yelling profanity even after they ask you to stop. too much macho BS and not enough sense

It has been a point of emphasis from the NFHS and LHSAA for the past several years and it has cleaned up more each year. I’m fact ADs, principals and asst principals are getting more involved with policing it. It was also a big reason a certain very successful La coach stepped away.

Policies are not laws. Is cursing in the press box against some policy, or against the law? Those who are getting all emotional, and crying that you should not do it, while correct, are neglecting to answer if it is against the law.

Or did Karen in the stands, whose son's team was taking home an arse-whoopin', suddenly get sensitive and call her neighbor, the Sheriff, to come stop this foul language coming out of the mouths of these dirty black men?

Something tells me this will see litigation.
