...fair enough.

Would you be happier if I changed it to "... ANY coach using profanity in front of a group of girls and boys."?

I just think it is bushleague to use profanity when coaching KIDS (girls or boys). If a Father or Mother wants to use a few choice words, in private, so be it...but, to be in a position of authority, in public, and in front of kids that their parents may not want such language used...shows a lack of respect for everyone around. JMHO.



"We are rarely able to interact only with folks like ourselves, who think as we do. No matter how much some of us deny this reality and long for the safety and familiarity of sameness, inclusive ways of knowing and living offer us the only true way to emancipate ourselves from the divisions that limit our minds and imaginations."
