Obscene chant about coach ends football season

The principal of Woodside High School, furious after some players on the school's football team chanted obscenities at their coach as he entered the locker room after yet another loss, has canceled the remainder of the school's already dismal football season.

Good for the coach and principal.

It's not surprising that these kids weren't willing to shoulder some of the responsibility for their losing record.

Training for the NFL starts earlier and earlier these days. Charming.

Shamon Thompson, 17-year-old senior star receiver, said that there were only three to four people chanting out of about 20 players who were in the locker room and that most of the rest of the team had not seen who was involved.

Then give the names, Shamon.

Hmmm ... a bit of a bias to this article in favor of the players it would seem:

"But nobody ratted on his buddies" ... oh how noble of them

"abrupt decision"

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Sounds like Woodside, CA should play Mepham, NY in the first national high school "Get A Clue" Bowl.

I dunno, I'd need more info on Packy's play calling and personel decisions before I could form an informed opinion on this.  I mean, what if he was playing a base dime defense or an elephant package on 3rd and long?  Then I too say "F- Packy!"

It’s a good thing they didn’t pray or they’d have been suspended too!

[mtbopfuyn]

The kids should have all been suspended for their behavior but then I've never known a coach who wasn't a pompous ash.

Well...well...well....maybe the tide really is turning...this IS VERY interesting....and I love it...the little twirps met real life for once.....waiting to hear a parent start complaining next, though.

No, I'm sad to say this lot is located about 10 minutes up the road from me in Santa Clara County.

Woodside is a pretty wealthy area. You'd think these kids would have more class.

"It feels really awkward," he said. "I scored two touchdowns in my last game, so that ended on a good note. But I'd rather be playing the rest of the season."

Football is a team game, and today my team let me down -- LEON CAN'T DO EVERYTHING!

[r9etb]

You'd think these kids would have more class.

Obviously not. I tend to believe the coach's description of the discipline problems they've had all year.

[ShadowDancer]

Woodside is a pretty wealthy area. You'd think these kids would have more class.

Some of the wealthiest people I know are also some of the most crude and tasteless. Money doesn't equate to class, upbringing does.

When I clicked on the article, I thought it was going to be about the Atlanta falcons, who revolted on Coach Reeves after the Redskins game, where with a 17-0 lead, five minutes to go till half, a 250 running back that had averaged six yards a play that game, a rookie second string qb, and the ball on the skins 40 yard line, called three straight pass plays.

One minute of game time later, a 17-0 lead was down to a 17-14 lead, and the falcons haven't been the same since.

I was revolting right along with them.

He said players were often fighting, stealing from each other and skipping practices. The staff tried to aggressively rein in the players, even forcing some of them to sit out games, but it was to little avail, Moss said.

Sounds like they were at the end of their rope and had to do something to rein in an out-of-control situation. Sometimes that means just closing up shop, cleaning house, and starting over.

Things have sure changed since I played high school sports (going on 33 years since my last track meet). One thing you DID NOT DO was mouth off to the coaches. You did what you were told or you were off the team. You kept your nose clean and your grades up. When you got to play you considered that a privilege and gave it your best, win or lose. The only "abuse" (it was of a respectful kind) we ever gave our coach was after winning the league championship and going undefeated in track we dragged him into the shower for a clothes-on drenching. Of course, everyone else got the same treatment, so it was expected.
