Good riddens! Flitch, if you want someone out of the team, you could just ask nicely! But now that you've paid someone to hit two balls at him during practise, and one of them in the GROIN, you've destroyed a kid's want to play ANY sport whatsoever, and all because he's not playing too well. You bastard, I hope you're happy.

Rant aside, the article (in my opinion) didn't clearly state whether the coach wanted the boy off because of the fact that he was autistic, or because he wasn't playing as well as the others (which is most likely BECAUSE of his autism, which the coach could possibly have no idea about). Even if the kid wasn't autistic, it was a cruel thing to do, and the sentence is appropriate. That coach is a bastard, sorry for having to test out the censoring device twice, but honestly, this is disgusting.

You know I am from around that area, and I knew an instructor at the school I was going to at the time that lived in Uniontown. I asked him if he knew where the guy lived, of course he wouldn't give me that information for obvious reasons. :twisted:

Most people are a-holes. But this particular had a taste of his own medicine. I just love it when that happens.

Most people are not like that, but some people have an anything goes, win at any cost kind of attitude, and some of them become athletic coaches.

At least most people don't care, as long as they don't have to suffer themselves.

Six years seems a bit much.

Not that it isn't disgusting mind you. Good to know that at least sometimes the monsters aren't tolerated.
