What a sad commentary on our game.

I agree with your assessment. It's like we have a double standard here. My point is that I would like to see the parents step forward in this situation. If I were a parent of one of the players and I felt that a coach was abusive I would do something about it. In the situation mentioned I believe that the coach was the principal of the school as well. Going to the principal is not an option here. Maybe this guy is on some kind of power trip and likes to rule with an iron fist. Maybe the threat of going to childrens services would tone it down a bit. There is more to abuse than physical abuse. If my 4 year old were sitting with me in the stands and heard profanity and other abusive behavior directed toward children, I would be extremely ticked.
