The Yankees used to ban players from wearing beards.
And another coach will get fired for trying to set rules.
I hate the phone entrapment of this coach
NY Post carrying on the racist argument here...What difference did it make if the coach was white and the player black????
THIS WAS ABOUT HAIR LENGTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He can do and get away with anything he wants whenever he wants. Filling a shopping cart from the Valdosta Food Mart without paying. Going 90 in a 30. Getting all A’s without attending class. Sky’s the limit.
Marxism's victims used to be oppressed workers. But since workers in America have it too darned good to feel oppressed, the Marxists needed a new victim class.
They took one look at Al Sharpton's business model and it was love at first sight.
And you're a racist if you don't like it.;-)
IMO it’s not unusual for coaches to have requirements on hair length, dress code etc. We’ve had them tell our son to get a haircut. Their team, their rules. It doesn’t say how many times kid was asked to get a haircut before this or if he got it cut after being taken off team?
Is hair length a protected class? I personally won’t hire anybody with excessive tattoos giving the choice. Nor a smoker. Your choices in life has consequences, and at the end of the day your employer needs to make a decision about what is and is not appropriate. End of story.
From what I got from the article: He was told multiple times to cut his hair and did not, so the coach canned him from the team. Then he goes and gets his hair cut, but the coach doesn’t want him back because he did not obey the rule in the first place.
Will the the kid get his hair stuck on fencing or so etching and sue?
Not very respectful to plan, set up, and secretly record a conversation in order to go public on the Internet because you don't like the grooming standards.
So what?
Suck it up buttercup
Exactly. His team, his rules.. I assume he has rules about hair length for all races… I question highly whether his kid has a father in his life and if he does if his father had one.
I am hard pressed to believe any person whining like this has a father, particularly one that had one themselves.
If the coach has no rules for other races and African Americans have one then you have an issue, but otherwise stop whining you little kitty cat and play or quit the team.
Yep. We had a teacher/basketball coach in high school who was great and respected as both. He had a crew cut. Very tough. You want to play basketball for me? Time for a buzz cut. I didn’t play, but the guys who did, and got the cut, were respected for it. They won a lot, too. Looking back, a psychological edge over the competition.
If the player were White or Asian, no worries.
I completed an entire career with grooming standards being strictly enforced. Suck it up, Buttercup. Wendys is hiring, but they have grooming standards too.

Once again the media is very quick to mention race when it fits their narrative.
The NY Post apparently uses claims of racism over silly things to stir up emotions to increase sales.
The NY Post just ran an article about a black murderer potentially being freed because the police tried to locate the murderer by matching his DNA, left at the scene, with a black male DNA collection. Though that is NOT how the murderer was caught, and the NYP KNEW this was bogus, they pretended this claim of racism somehow mattered. BS.
The pattern seems to be to stir up outrage with stories that don’t really add up to anything. An obscure sports coach set grooming standards; this snowflake didn’t comply, thus hurting the team. Oh, the humanity.
Covering this crap just encourages morons to feel racist pain whenever they don’t get their way with ice cream on top. Pathetic.
walton shows up to first day of practice at UCLA with long hair.
Wooden: Your hair is too long.
Walton: That’s my right (paraphrase)
Wooden (story told by Walton) We’re gonna miss you.
He cut his hair.
