You should send to the coach and also athletic director. Keep up the good work

Spot on. Especially the tragedy of normalizing white male rage in the eyes of the girls, the boys, us all. We become numb to bad behavior when it’s not called out. People hire coaches with no compassion and also vote for candidates with no moral compass who should not even be on the ballot.

Andrew thank you so much for this. Well said. You’re right that we seem to be at a point societally where we acknowledge this behavior is not ideal, but still continue to reward it. “Time to wake up” - exactly.

Well written; whatever you had to “clean up”, you did it nicely. Thoughtful and sensitive. I definitely agree that we pay sports people WAY too much, and educators not nearly enough. Thanks for sharing!
