I've been one of the more outspoken liberals on the board. I even refuse to let me son play with toy guns because guns aren't toys. And I've also been outspoken out the hostility this board permits and generates over the years.
All of that said, even I don't see much if anything wrong with that clip. I'm not clear that the player was near tears. And if he was, I'm not sure that's a problem. And even if it were, I don't see how that confrontation is a problem.
The worst part of the clip was him the coach shoving the player. And that was borderline at worst.
I don't yell at my son unless he's far away, can't hear me or isn't paying attention or is in danger. But I do get in his face and it's a very good way to quietly demand their full attention. I haven't seen many if anyone else in coaching do much of that (getting nose to nose).
I guess if he was saying really shitty things about the kids family or deceased relative or something, maybe that's the problem. Otherwise, I don't much get the issue here.
