The ignorant hurtful, cruel and unusual tortures that coaches will invent are not rare things. There are good teachers who are also coaches, but having gone to school and worked beside them, my opinion of coaches is such that I am reluctant to call a good teacher, coach.

(although there is a certain element in American society that will defend them to the death) And sports is most often the rationale providing 'cover' for their sick psychology.

And, just by the way - I am not against punitive action or correction handed out to students that are jacking around, breaking the rules, etc., etc. Just of 'sickos' being in charge of molding character.

Torture the child.
