I think what 123kid123 is trying to say is that he doesn't want his players to think he's a sissy.. That he's there to fight for his team.. And 123kid123 emphasized it was wrong, but it is very meaningful to his players.. Am I right, 123kid123?
Most likely, yes.
If you're asking me if I think coach should apologize and be ashamed for his actions? Yes.
If what coach did was wrong? Yes.
If I put myself in his position, how would I handle the situation? Most likely I would do the same.
Would I be sorry? Yes. Ashamed? Yes.
About the dogs, man you didn't get it. And I don't use other's "saying".
Please read this thread from the first to the last post. I never insulted anyone. I simply raised questions and people start barking at me. I tried to avoid talking the same way but sometimes you really have fight back.
You got to do what you have to do.
If you guys don't mind, I will share a story. This happened when I was playing in our community team. (I won't go in to details). Then one game, we were losing hell-bad. And there's this one guy who keeps shouting, taunting and even insulting us, the players. I mean that person was really hitting home runs in our minds, we were so affected. At least I was. I wasn't mad or angry to that person. Going face to face and confronting that man didn't even occur in my mind. I simply wanted to go home and run away from that place.
Then before the game was over, our coach confronted that man. Our coach was really mad like he wanted to tear that man's tongue. I saw that in his eyes. He never really got the chance because officers held him. We were not really that close. He's my coach, he teaches me how to play but nothing really close to a friend. Anyway, the man never really smiled during that game and I know he's really disappointed on how we were performing.
During those times, we even thought that he thought the same to us, same to that shouting audience. That we should be ashamed to ourselves. So after seeing what our coach did, we were glad to know that coach still has our back. He protected what was left of us. I felt really good back then.
There you go.
