[quote name="77" post="1012887" timestamp="1305917075"] [quote author=queenb77630 link=topic=84400.msg1012876#msg1012876 date=1305916006] So you men/women think its okay for a coach/teacher to say such things in front of parents and young children? [color=blue]I don't![/color] If they feel the need to say such things to their players, then say it where no one but them can hear it! I don't expect them (the coaches) to be all surgery sweet to the players; however, when they (the coaches) are in the presence of the parents (aka: supporters) and young children, WATCH YOUR MOUTH! For whoever said my son deserved it: you are a real piece of work. Just for the record my son did not play that game; he was sick. I was still there though, supporting the kids. Working the concession stand. Buying the sodas. Ordering the shirts to support the team. As a matter of fact, it was the same day that I turned in the sponsorship money that I had collected for the baseball program. [b][color=blue]Don't talk about what you don't know![/color][/b]I know Coach Rojas would get onto the players; however, I don't recall ever hearing him curse like that in public. Practices yes, NOT in public for everyone to hear. As far as Coach T; I loved him when he was my PE coach in high school and I would have been furious had he not been appointed as AD. I think he will do a wonderful job. He has the knowledge, expertise, and personality that just makes him such a wonderful man. I'm sad to see Coach Hooks go; but couldn't ask for a better replacement. [/quote]I dont think that kind of language should be used on the field ever but it happens and keeping your son off the team will only hurt one person and its not the coach. [/quote] Don't stand too close to the dugout . . . You may be surprised what kind of language your kid is hearing from his peers . . . don't think it starts in High School either . . . Pull your head from the sand and teach him to rise above, not run from what he hears around him. If you've done [b]your[/b] job and set the proper example he should realize what is "right" and act accordingly.
