re: Rabalais: With 'protect the team' line, O 'fumbled' chance to denounce domestic violence

I guess you didn't read the article.

quote:

---

Baribeau, who shares her story of herself having once the victim of domestic violence (she describes herself as a “victor,” and good for her), speaks to teams across the country about how to treat others and how to see themselves beyond the person in the uniform and helmet and cleats. She talks to players about being “kings” and finding their “queen,” and treating women as such.

Baribeau stressed that Orgeron was "incredibly engaged in my talk" and even stayed around after all the players left to offer encouragement to her about her life experiences. She asked players to protect one another — and in doing so, protect the team — with their actions.

It's right there in black and white why Coach O said what he said. It was in the article which I also pointed out in the post that you responded to.
