re: High school baseball player sues coach for 150,000 dollars. Says benching was bullying

Wait a minute now. Kid was a 3 year starter before his senior year. His dad raised an issue of a double standard regarding the fundraiser. So, either the other kid didn't participate either, but wasn't benched, or the father is full of shite. I'm not saying the case is legit, but it could be.
A coach not playing someone good enough to play because they don't like them for whatever reason is bullshite. I've seen it. If the coach feels that strongly, and have a legitimate reason, they should have the sack to kick the kid off the team. If they don't have the balls, or a legitimate reason, they do chickenshit stuff like this.
Downvote away.

The claims made in the suit are interesting.
Then again, Max Preps shows Robbie Lopez was 0-8 at the plate this year, so perhaps the benching was warranted.
quote:
The boy’s father, Robert Lopez II, believed the coach’s decision to bench his son throughout the season was because he complained to the district’s athletic director after a disagreement over a fundraising game.
Lopez spoke to the school after the coach did not allow players to practice who had not participated in a fundraising event. It is illegal in California to require students to fundraise to participate in public school activities.
quote:
Among the incidents the suit singles out is the annual alumni game, in which the varsity team plays against former Los Altos players. It states that “the game is supposed to be a fun day; especially for seniors on the team” and that “every senior on the team played except for” Robbie Lopez.
quote:
The lawsuit also claimed the teenager had been a starter for three years prior to coach Lopez being hired.
