I'm hardly an admirer of arrogant jocks and obnoxious coaches. When I first heard about the uproar over the note from the coach of the Green Death soccer team, my reaction was in favor of the critics.
Having read the entire note, however, I'm wondering if the guy was the victim of a huge overreaction as well as political bias. An excerpt from his missive:
These are my views and not necessarily the views of the league (but they should be). I recognize that my school of thought may be an ideological shift from conventional norms. But it is imperative that we all fight the good fight, get involved now and resist the urge to become sweat-xedo-wearing yuppies who sit on the sidelines in their LL Bean chairs sipping mocha-latte-half-caf-chinos while discussing reality TV and home decorating with other feeble-minded folks. I want to hear cheering, I want to hear encouragement, I want to get the team pumped up at each and every game and know they are playing for something.
