I was at the Beaumont Fair last night and I was sitting on the steps behind 4 Vidor Varsity Football players and they were talking about this message board and how much they hate what you people write on here. They hate the fact that you all blame the coaches and bad mouth them. It's kind of like when a married couple is splitting up and they bad mouth each other to their kids. In a kids mind, when you bad mouth a parent, you are indirectly cutting down that child. SAME THING WITH FOOTBALL PLAYERS....when you bad mouth their coach, you are indirectly putting the badmouth on those kids...at least that's how they perceive it. Those boys love those coaches and will defend them to the end. If you don't believe me, just ask one of them.
I have to agree with those Pirate players. I have been shocked at how acceptable it's become to tear down a coach's program with the words on this message board. Surely this isn't what this board was created for. Surely the intentions of the creator/moderator was not to allow people to publicly criticize and personally attack coaches.
Do you all REALLY think these coaches sit around all week thinking of the various ways they can go out there on Friday nights and blow it big time? Regardless of where you rate a coach (which I have yet to understand where some of you find yourselves qualified to throw stones and judge the job performance of another man), these guys really do care. And, do you think they are so thick skinned and insensitive that your inconsiderate comments roll right off their backs? Surely you understand that most of these coaches are caring and passionate individuals or they wouldn't be working with children.
Is it fair for you to make often-times false and misleading comments for their bosses, players, fans and even families to read? How would you feel (even the moderator of this message board) if there was a board created which allowed the public to do the same to you. You'd have the privilege of logging on daily to find out what others think of your character and your job performance. I know I mess up. I would hate to have to also read about it in a public forum like these guys do.
I suppose in a perfect world, our community would be supporting one another. We have enough enemies. I am not sure why anyone feels the need to create new ones.
