I am seeing lots of interesting responses.  To restate my question on this topic.

Does the postings regarding the abilities of a coach --or lack of abilities--promote the team in a positive image in the eyes of the readers?  Do these postings get the desired results in the public arena?  Whether they are right or wrong IMO is irrelevant to the question.

To answer your question, right or wrong, there is no positive that comes from any of these posts. Even though there is no positve promotion, it does paint an accurate picture of the programs that are mentioned. That is what is a shame.

It paints an accurate picture of the program as seen in the eyes of the poster!! Now, is the posters eyes the sentiments of everyone involved? I doubt that very much. So do you believe everything other people write as being fact? That wouldn't be too smart. Do we not agree that many statements written as fact are sometimes filtered by someones personal agenda? I think we have all seen this before. So do I think negative comments about coaches/umpires bring a negative light over a team? Not in my opinion. It usually brings a negative light on the poster. Hey, think about it, he came on here to do it!!!

My remarks have nothing to do with the coaching of the game.  As far as that goes our coach pretty much knows what he's doing.  Its the personal insults that I have a problem with.  Its not about wether or not my child gets to play.  She always gets to play.  Its not just the insults that my child gets, its about 8 other girls also.  If it was something physical or worse should we keep quite about it for the sake of the team?  Or because poor coach has to coach for a living since he chose to coach for a living.  Is it not young minds that the coach is shaping?  Could he possibly be teaching these young girls that its ok to be verbally abused by someone who is supposed to care about them?  Verbal abuse is abuse.  And come on, the person that wants to come to my job and yell at me like a ingnorant parent that thinks her little angel is not getting enough playing time....how about reversing that.  Lets say your boss came to you screaming that your an *f*ing idiot, I cant believe how stupid you are, you fat cow, if you cant do your job right im going to fire you!  What?  You would sit there and smile and figure that after the 10th time he's still just having a bad day?

Hey Weed, I think it's time to retitle your thread to Readers response to NEGATIVE coaching remarks.  Particularly if etbu's question is answered.  I'll narrow it down for you a little etbu.......not a team in 21-5A (particularly Tyner, Chambliss & Sorensen)

Hey etbu, I think it's you who needs to ease up a bit (from your deleted post).  Mc just trying to throw a little humor into an explosive situation.

Why did you delete your Huffman vs PNG thread?  That one could have gotten interesting also.

Well hello there 13 good to see you again to and hope  you are doing well. Last time we spoke just was not good so why don't we just stick to the post. Play nice 13 and be happy your team is headed to the playoffs. I am impressed that you follow each of my post with such interest bc at least you have good taste. Don't get all bent out of shape and lets try to stay the course here.

This is the second topic that has been opened because of what I heard an opposing coach saying to her team. This is not something someone told me she said or something I made up to start negative comments toward that team. I have never, nor will I ever complain about batting order, playing time or position that my daughter plays. This situation has nothing to do with her at all. She has played every inning of every game for her team this year. I made an accurate and true statement about words that myself and about 100 other fans from both sides heard. And believe me, it was loud enough for everyone to hear. Coaches make up lineups and decide playing time, that is their right as coach. I just made a simple statement about things I heard that was out of line and that I know for a fact many parents on that team think were out of line too. It was just a statement about something I thought was disturbing and I don't undersand why I am receiving verbal shots as a "negative poster" for something that was true.

After pondering etbu's question a little longer, I came up with a great idea.  Why don't we start a "POLL" thread with a list of several area High Schools and have everyone vote on the school they think is being talked about?  Would probably be as much fun as the next moderator poll!

My question....is a football coach that uses colorful language, that may berate, grab him by the facemask and degrade a player because he didn't make a play or missed a block a bully?  Football players are pulled all the time by the lack of results.  What would be the difference in a football coach versus a softball coach saying or doing these things?  I have never heard a football coach say, "it's ok sweetheart we'll get him next time just go out and have some fun".  Is it because of the violence in football is more acceptable or because saying and doing these things to our young men compared to our darling daughters is more unthinkable?  Now with those questions and thoughts in mind, I am not saying that it makes it right in either instance, but we have all been caught up in the "heat of the moment" while during "battle".  I would like to think in both cases we would give the coach the benefit of the doubt.  I would also believe in both cases you would be more apt to hear the softball coach say the incident would be regrettable but nothing would ever be said to or from the football coach.  Again, I am not saying that either one is right, but I have never heard a softball coach say, "break her leg if you have to, make the pitcher bleed and get her out of the game because she is killing us....much less apologize."

I honestly think we have some of the best and most respected coaches in the state in all sports with each one bringing their own unique talents and skills to their respective venues.  I also believe until you walk in that persons shoes judgement should be reserved until we meet our maker!

I guess you might say...."It's judgement call!"  ;D ;D ;D

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
