re: High School Football Coach Suspended for "Slap"

So a coach should never touch a player under any circumstance?

Not what I said. You can read my posts again. Thanks.

Let's say during practice a kid lines up in the wrong spot and the coach grabs him by the arm and moves him to the right spot...is that physical abuse? serious question.

---

Show me a video.

If a coach hits my kid, my kid had damn well better hit him back.

Life lesson: don't let insecure punks hit you.

Life lesson 2: leaders don't rely on violence or intimidation to get their point across.

Another hasty conclusion drawn by someone who can't comprehend that teachers aren't supposed to hit students in the head.

Coach...not the same.

You've assumed that I was bullied and not taught basic life lessons. You COULD just debate the issue, but for some reason you feel the need to imagine things about my personal life that you couldn't possibly know so that you could present them as fact and feel comfortable about your idiotic stance on the issue. You are wrong; I am right. This is not a matter of opinion, but one of fact. Slapping on the head is something masters do to slaves, not what coaches do to players.

I can assure you that I didn't present then in order to feel more comfortable about my idiotic stance on the issue. I presented my educated opinion for the purpose of further explaining why you are pussy and can't see the difference in coaches and teachers.

This is a matter of fact? So, supply the empirical proof that gives fact to this opinion.

Just a point of observation, your lack of denial about being bullied and not being taught essential life lessons as a kid is interesting. It definitely gives reason to your opinion on the issue, and why you can't see the other side. Your protecting yourself. It's ok. I actually feel sorry for people like you.

Did you really compare this head slap to what masters did to slaves???

Yes.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in Austria. So was Adolf Hitler. I just compared Arnold to Hitler. Things that are very different can have a single thing in common. Don't make stupid posts like this anymore.

^^^Can't debate the issue, gets personal, actually believes as fact the things he imagines. A troll.

Not a big deal, but coaches should leave that stuff on the practice field. It doesn't do much good during a game but show the player up and make the coach look like a d-bag.

Dont have a video but picture this.
Then I'll move on.

So you saw where I was going and knew you didnt have an answer...Way to bow out gracefully.

Probably the mildest lick the kid took all day.

You really sound like a whiny pussy.

I am debating the issue. I'm also reaching out to try and help you. I'm sorry. I'm only getting personal because your personal opinion is what you are spewing. Actually believe as fact the things I imagine? Yea, the majority of the US and I both do. A troll? No. You would fit that definition more closely, considering that only you and one other in this thread can't see the light.

I've struck a nerve with you, and you're trying to hide that behind material that is irrelevant to this issue.

A coach shouldn't hit a player in the head for two reasons:
A) it can be described as abusive
B) a kid shouldn't be learning that this behavior is ok. If he grows up thinking that this is acceptable, imagine who he might also treat this way when he's a grown man.

How about this?: no coaches hitting kids in the head.

We can agree on this, correct?
