Suspension? No. But if I'm the coach, that kid is no longer on my team. |
How did the coach find out about it? Either the school administration showed him the poem, or one of the kids teammates went and tattled... Either of those options kind of proves the kid's point. |
Doesn't really matter how the coach found out. It's called "conduct detrimental to the team". |
Of course it matters. That is why evidence obtained illegally is not admissible in a courtroom.
If a student feels like the classroom is the place where he can be truthful and express himself, do we really want to crush that? Why would he ever care about his education again?
Perhaps the coach needs to have a conversation with him, but kicking him off the team and especially suspending him for an assignment where he expressed himself truthfully (I guess he should have lied) in what he apparently thought was a safe classroom environment is completely the wrong decision.
I guess the other side of the argument is.... FOOTBALL!!! |
Plus, the kid should be fined for writing such a bad poem.

Yeah, he didn't do himself any favors there...

Let's hope PJ gets a little more than that as punishment.

According to the Asheville paper this morning, Trey Sumler has joined those on the bench for the opener.

I didn't realize that Sumler was a walk-on. How often has a walk-on been named POY?

Don't think he ever played as a walk-on. |

He may not have qualified for a scholarship his freshman year, but paid his way and red-shirted that year. Whatever the circumstances, he's been around a while and has had a good career.
If WCU players have to sit a game this year, let it be the DU @ WCU game in January. Let their entire roster play in those early season games they have to play on the road for the $. A win in one of those helps the SoCon's RPI. |
