Does anyone but me think there’s a disproportionate number of arab journalists in the US media?

I used to tap co workers on the hardhat with a hammer to get their attention.

So? He slapped a helmet. Have these “reporters” ever SEEN a football game?

How about this. The coach keeps his his hand to himself. It was abusive and unnecessary.

The guy is wearing a helmet because other guys are running full speed and bashing his body into the ground. I bet he can handle a smack on the helmet.

Broward County school officials need a slap on the sides of their unhelmeted heads.

Coaches through history have done this and worse. I know one particular man who, in discharging his duties, turned the air blue, manhandled but never intentionally injured players, and made them run drills until they were past the point of exhaustion.

40 years later, they are successful and prosperous with unparalleled work ethics. They gather from everywhere, including out of state, in droves to attend golf tournaments and BBQs in his honor or simply where he is in attendance and men in their 50s and 60s still reverently call him by just one name: Coach.

PS - they also won a lot of games.

Please. If the player can’t handle that he shouldn’t be on the field....or he should play for Powder Puff teams....

And as far as I know, the player didn’t whine about the coach...the media took the lead.

After any given play, players are slapping each other on the helmet. The whole thing is ludicrous.

It was more of an open hand hit, not a slap, I didnt like it, I wouldn't make a big deal of it, but it was a bit much.

The GREAT NEWS about all of this, is that the kid and coach were BOTH WHITE! Whew....

You all are dead wrong: I am livid about abusive fat stupid football coaches; my son was a great center and he and the quarterback had played for years as a beautifully functioning unit until they got to high school where the coaches had muscles for brains and played roll em football instead of smart football. My son played a couple more years: they knew more plays than the stupid dumb ass coach and sometimes called their own plays based on the good coaching they had had previously. The dipshit coach wanted huge mean dumb guys. He got fired the year after my son gave up in disgust.

This coach is a dumb shit it is written all over his stupid face. He needs to be fired.

Thats nothing. Once during a wrestling meet the coach told me beforehand to meet him minus my (eyeglasses) in the hallway right before my match. He yelled and slapped me about four times. He purposely made me mad, and his timing was perfect. We heard the end of the previous match and then I came in and pinned my opponent in 19 seconds. I thanked the coach later. (School record)
Coaches use these methods to “inspire” their athletes all the time.

Oh Please. You have obviously never played football or been around coaches and players. That was nothing more than a "get your damn head in the game!" pop.

The player and his parents have said it was nothing and they don't feel the coach did anything wrong. That right there should be the end of it.

This is nothing but a bunch of panty-waist bed-wetting do-gooders getting their pretty lace panties in a wad because of the mean old baddie waddie coach picking on the itty-bitty widdle player and hurting his poor widdle feewings.

People need to man up and get into the real world. The fact this is an issue at all is a joke.

I was a senior in high school before I figured out the face guard wasn’t a coach handle.

What the high school coach a teacher in the high school?

I don't know much about football so maybe you could help me here.

Questions:

Are most football coaches also teachers?

If they are teachers, how is it possible to be both an excellent coach and a good teacher?

It seems to me that be excellent both as a teacher and coach would be nearly impossible because both would require the person's full-time attention?

And....Wouldn't it be better to remove football entirely from the schools and move them to the county's departments of recreation? At least then, the county could hire full-time coaches whose **only** job ( schooling and training) would be coaching.

Other sports are completely privatized and the U.S. does very well on the Olympic level. The **only** thing these coaches do is coach. They aren't also history teachers or whatever.
