Entertaining as that was, you can see men donāt celebrate and entertain on the field until they score. They have to fight over everything. Women, on the other hand, mock each other, which I think is kind of evil entertainment but they do look better doing it.
That is so not true. All combat sports have three months of trash talking before the fight.
Have you ever participated in combat sports, softy?
Yes, for many years, but never competitively.
You donāt remember Muhammad Ali mocking his opponents and trash talking for months before a fight? That has been part of the game for at least 60 years.
Really? Let me guessā¦.boxing?
No and it sounds stupid.
No, karate and Arnis (a Filipino weapons art). I havenāt practiced either for decades and anyone skilled could probably kick my ass today. lol.
It was stupid.
Why participate in a sport you thought was stupid?
No, Michele, the trash talking and mocking is stupid. Karate is not stupid, although it is of dubious usefulness in the modern world.
Yes, Reg, I know. Thatās what I was talking about and you said it was part of the sport.
It is part of the sport once you get successfully competitive. A stupid part. It is not part of the amateur versions of most combat sports.
Okay, so are you saying you never took part in mocking and trash talking your opponents back when you participated in the combat sports?
Yes.
Story starts at 1:30. Coach called him a pussy which wasnāt necessary, but thereās no way this should be a lawsuit.
I listened to the first part of it. I tended to agree with him on most points he was making. I also admire him for being able to put up with those kidsā bs.
This demonstrates how little you know and understand about children. Would that kind of behavior be okay if it was happening to your child? Would you think itās okay for a grown man to get in your childās face and humiliate him or her while you sit on the sidelines and watch?
He gets paid to put up with those kids. He gets paid to teach them how to play a sport fairly and the value of sportsmanship. What are they really learning? Heās teaching them that they are stupid. That standing at the feet of his great presence is their only purpose and they serve no other. That their words are invalidated by their stupidity.
I admire those kids. They never give up in the face of an abusive man who thinks provoking children with violence, humiliation and embarrassment produces a strong team when it only produces anger and division. Heās a bully. When he goes before the judge perhaps the judge will tell him to sit down and shut up because he is too stupid to have a valid opinion and one that carries no weight with the court.
They arenāt children. The fact you think he is a child is a major problem.
I donāt agree with the way the coach handled it, but not worthy of a lawsuit.
Do you think he should have been able to retain his scholarship by not playing football and not communicating with the coach?

Hey, I can only offer my opinion on what I see and that coach was both verbally and physically abusive to team players that what appeared to me to be young and impressionable boys who were 10 at best, teen girls and boys. The fact that Rollins is 22 does not dismiss the fact that this coach has repeatedly yelled obscenities that nobody should have to listen to.
If the coach canāt control his tongue and the board of that school is incapable of rising above defending his unacceptable behavior, Court is the only way to settle it.
Do you think the coach should be allowed to strip him of his scholarship because he felt ignored?
What are you on about with 10 year old boys and girls and something about physical abuse?
You didnāt answer my question.
The coach wouldnāt strip him of his scholarship. The school would.
Iām pro education for all and that includes college, so that would solve the scholarship thing. They could also get rid of college athletics. That would also have solved this.
