Plenty of our young men play high.
Plenty of our young men steal.
Plenty of our young men date rape.
Plenty of our young men murder.
Plenty of our young men are pedophiles (far more prevalent than anyone thinks.....or is willing to admit......about 25% of your team are victims of sexual abuse, about 5% are abusers themselves).

As a coach, I would let the parents who want to pull their kids pull them......you'd be amazed how much a {censored} off 16 year old can convince his parents to let him play.

I would then coach the players on my team.......my job is not to delegate morality, it is to coach football.

And football, in it's purest form is not about your last name, color of your skin, country of origin, sexual orientation, religion, sex, height, weight, or socio-economic class........


It's about FIGHTING! It's about quitters and perservering. It's about struggle. It's about glory and honor, in victory and defeat. It's about breaking down BS walls of society's safeguards and boiling it down to the original question of human existence: Me and mine will survive, or we will die, BUT BY GOD, we will never quit.

Football coaches don't delegate morality, but they do teach it, and it is the most important kind:

Heroes are simply those who did the right thing, the right way, the first time, EVERY time.

And EVERYONE needs these truths......the true evil here is denying young men access to one of the last places where these lessons can be learned at a young age.
