Have you ever heard of a thing called manliness? Does it mean anything at all to you?

Maybe Drew could incorporate this into Fark?

bornonadifferentplanet: the world has become too politically correct.

Yeah I'm sure thats what it was. It has nothing to do with a coach assessing the risks involved and not taking them seriously.

Instead you cry for the coach? No, he wouldn't like that. Political correctness is not what its about. Its about a coach who didn't know what was over that line, regardless of where that line is.

Wow, can you people not take a joke?

Isn't that an invasion of privacy?

bornonadifferentplanet: the world has become too politically correct.

Right, because if you call someone a little biatch, and they don't like it, then they are being "politically correct".
Being "politically correct" means respecting other people and not being an asshole.
Not sure why that's supposed to be a bad thing.

Incidentally, this guy is a little biatch himself... a complete pussy who wouldn't do anything in person if you confronted him... otherwise he wouldn't be apologizing like a biatch. If you believe in what you say, have some balls and stand up for it... this guy doesn't and can't.

Oh come on. That was funny. I think even a high school student would see that as humorous and satirical. What is wrong with you people?

What on earth would possess a coach to draw up something like that, even if it had no offensive items in it. What a waste of time and resources. Maybe he could, like, teach them something about the game, or conduct a really strenuous practice and tell them "that's how rough it's going to be every week, get used to it" if he wanted to get some kind of point across.

The "line" is not reality. It exists only in the minds of the corrupted.

The reality is that manhood means nothing without the capacity to endure, and, yes, inflict, shame.

While admittedly anyone who has to deal with complaints, especially the complaints of teenagers, probably feels like this guy on a regular basis, it's not actually appropriate to express those feelings of derision to the people you're counseling directly, in survey form or otherwise.

Basically, I'd have fired this douche too. If someone in a guidance position forwarded this in an e-mail to co-workers or something (who, again, probably have the same "fark you and your trivial problems" feeling toward the people they have to counsel on a regular basis, especially if that's not the primary aspect of their job) without mentioning specific students, then sure, have the political correctness vs honest expression of opinions discussion. Directing it at the actual people in your care, not so much, that's just harassing the exact people you're supposed to be helping deal with harassment. Plus, it's picking on kids, which is not the kind of behavior I'd want to see from any employee, much less one with actual kids in his care.

Yeah, he should have totally added some X's and O's to represent the offender and the offended.

Now don't discount womanhood.
Your mom, for example, I happen to know loves shame.

I like how 'Political Correctness' has evolved from actual, oh, I don't know...political issues, to 'anytime I act like a jackhole and someone calls me on it'.

We're talking about Wyoming here. What you consider "jackhole" behavior might just be normal there.

1. Act like an asshole
2. Wait for people to get mad about it
3. LULZ

He forgot step 3, because now he's crying and apologizing.
The people crying "political correctness" are the ones who don't even want to go to step 2.

All great questions, thanks.

Pointy Tail of Satan: Maybe it's just me, but I found it rather amusing, not offensive.

I found it amusing too but it was a little over the top with the whiny little biatch part..

I think we are all losing sight of the fact that the "hurt feelings report" were handed out by the football coach to the football team before that team played a game of football. It was not distributed to a bunch of random students, but a bunch of football-playing students. And given the sort of hazing and manliness tests that football teams go through (especially in bumfark regions of flyover states like Wyoming where there's nothing else to do), that really was not harmful. A "man up and go beat our opponents" sort of thing.

mopar1956: Wow, can you people not take a joke?

Not when the so-called joke's chock-full of misogny and homophobia, no.

And by the way, fark you and your "it was a just a joke" line. I thought part of this whole "being a real man" was not making up passive-aggressive excuses because you're too cowardly to admit when you're insulting someone.

Big props to that news website for actually including the little survey thing with the story. Should be common sense, but how many stories like this don't seem to do it?

I was expecting something more extreme, but that was pretty dickish. And worse, it wasn't even funny.

LindyJohn: Oh come on. That was funny. I think even a high school student would see that as humorous and satirical. What is wrong with you people the world?

Ok, guys, let's get out there and respect the other team's feelings. And if it's alright with them, let's try to move the ball into their end zone. But only if you can do it without adversely affecting their self-esteem. Here, I'll make some room over here for all the trophies we'll be winning . . .

Sheesh.

A boys high school sports team does not have the same standards and atmosphere as a grown-up office. Do you think it should?

Look, all I know is that my own high school coach would say things like that (and probably worse) to us when I was a kid, and you know what? We were OK with that. If we had seen something like this, we would have got a big laugh out of it.

LowbrowDeluxe: I like how 'Political Correctness' has evolved from actual, oh, I don't know...political issues, to 'anytime I act like a jackhole and someone calls me on it'.

It's an easy question. is the offending person in a position of authority? No? Then he's acting like a jackhole. Yes? Then he's refreshingly honest, take-charge, and morally centered.

Yes, this country was built on telling unreasonable authority to engage in aerial intercourse with a revolving toroidal pastry. And no, the founders of this country did not intend for us to extend that attitude to all unreasonable authority. The leaders and makers of men ought to be exempt.

I'm just saying that telling a bunch of jocks to man up, before a major football game, is completely different from telling a math class to man up.

Eh. I don't mind it but for the words "queer" and "b*tch." Telling your high school players to toughen up is fine. Using slurs and cursing is probably not.

It tells me the coach is immature more than anything.

I'm farking with you. But the math class should man up. Have you seen those pussies?

FerneJohn: It tells me the coach is immature more than anything.

Wasn't the simple fact that football was involved enough of a tipoff already?

Immaturity is part of being a man. There's a reason that being male and being mature do not equal manhood. Men know when to put aside the wisdom and compassion that come with age and act for the sake of the tribe.

Using a PDF for no reason? That's ten laps.

Yup... :)

If he left of the words "pussy", "women like hormones", "queer" and "little biatch" he probably could have got away with it.

/surely not obscure?

The queer part had me giggling. The biggest guy on the football team at my old high school was very openly gay. Did he get ribbed about it? Yes, but in good fun. Most of the other guys didn't care all that much. Why? Because he was a nice guy, and he was also the biggest guy on the football team.

When the biggest guy on the football team reminds you not to cross a line you just started stepping on, you tend to stfu and walk away.

/ah, many fond memories of high school
//he loved reminding people that gay didn't mean he was girly, it just meant he preferred cock to pussy
/his boyfriend was head of the D&D club, it made for some interesting arguments between the two of them when Prom got in the way of a massive D&D game

I don't expect anyone to "fall for" simple reality. Didn't your mommy ever get out the hair brush and teach you about reality? It's a dodgeball game with no winners that never ends. It's swallowing every bit of bullshiat you're served and asking for more. Nicely. In the best and most fully realized people, it's your own boot on your own face - forever.
