I wonder what pays more, IBM or high school football player?
rules are rules
in life we may not always be able to make our own
he should have been kicked off the team
Ah, that pic is so ‘80s.
Anyway, I first saw the headline about the pink cleats on Yahoo. Is it just me, or do they have a disproportionate amount of stories about high school football on there?
I also noticed that Yahoo’s news headlines tend to have an extreme pro-DNC slant.
>>> when you break the rules in order to make a principled stand on something you believe in, you should expect to have to face the consequences of the rules you broke. That makes the difference between an activist and a nincompoop.
So what RULE did he break? All I see in the story is the coach “ridiculed” the color pink in a prior game.
There obviously was no hard and fast “rule” about color of shoes. Coach was just being an ass. From the story, “He’s had five or six different colored shoes throughout his last two years of kicking for Mendenhall and when he got the pink shoes that’s when it became an issue. I think it is the pink shoes.”
When some mouth breather mouths off, does that now constitute an enforceable “rule” ? If the report the student has already been reinstated so quickly is correct, the school sees this too.
That makes the difference between an coach and a nincompoop.
“So what RULE did he break?”
Don’t disobey the coach, maybe?
