I wanted to get some discussion on abuse vs. coaching in athletics but nobody was interested.


I could discuss that with you having had experience in competitive sports with my kids and doing some reporting on high school sports for the media. I guarantee you politics comes first despite the best intentions of the coach/AD. It's less of a problem in smaller schools mainly because every able body is needed.

Of course it depends on what kind of abuse you are talking about. I'm referring to the general use of kids and parents as pawns and not physical abuse.

I would have had comment to every one.

I'll try to be nicer, Seth.

I just wanted to see an Off Topic Forum that wasn't completely filled with extreme bigoted ignorance. When one has dedicated one's life to education, to trying against all odds to create the conditions for a better future, seeing the worst in humanity is super depressing.

Fortunately it is only a tiny fringe of wing nuts.

That is what happens when a sub-population doesn't view from "new posts." Other sub-populations try to wriggle their way in, one forum at a time. I really thought that everyone knew about bc's and droopy's spam campaign.

When everyone communicates, opinions mellow because of logical exchange of information. Logic and factual information don't matter to some, however.

Overuse of ignore does the same thing.
