High School Coach Suspends Entire Football Team

This may piss off some armchair quarterbacks out there, but this is a GOOD thing.

Too often our 'boys of fall' feel like being THE school athlete is the end all and be all of life's achievement. And the fame and prestige with which we treat our national sportsmen only reinforces this issue.

Don't get me wrong, I grew up playing sports, and have been known to attend a few Super Bowl parties in my time. But I believe also that there is something inherently wrong in a Nation that pays more for its 'entertainers' than it does its political leaders.

Give regular John Q. Public his sixpack and an easy chair to watch his favorite sport all Saturday, and he's happy. Fat, drunk, and happy. Just like a good sheeple should be.

So here's a coach willing to teach young men that athletic ability is NOT the end all be all. Its an aspect of being part of a community. Healthy, young, athletic teenage boys helping out a community rather than expecting privilege and prestige based on the merits of how well they play football. Good Man, Coach!

Its high time we start giving more than taking in this country. If our congress were told they couldn't wear their big-boy pants and play politics until they did something for the country they represent, maybe this country would get back on track...
