[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1405411, member: 527609"] I think folks who played football would agree that there's a line between being a blue-language yeller and being a sociopath that isn't very fuzzy at all when you're the one on the receiving end of it. Nor should it be when you're the leader of the program. It's the difference between coming from a place of belief in the player's abilities versus a place of working through personality defects of the coach and needing to humiliate and make an example of people. I've seen both. Football was the only team sport I ever played at a high enough level where I got that flavor of it, I'm sure from what I've heard that other sports have coaches like that, but then of course you add the meathead-y culture and physical danger aspects of it in football. That even the head trainer was in on it makes this story just that much more disgusting. Nuke that program from orbit. Only way to be sure. [/QUOTE]
