That is just a ridiculous statement. Do you know the kids and have you spoken to them? 15-17 year olds just don't make these decisions without their parents. I guess they thought the program would shut down. They are going to learn a hard lesson. Life goes on with or without you. Enjoy the rest of the season sitting in the bleachers with your parents.

You are correct life does go on with or without you.

My question to everyone is this::: Why is it ok for Football, Basketball and Baseball coaches to verbally, physically and mental mistreat kids?

You never hear of a "coach"/"sponsor" of the Debate Team say "how F'ing retarded are you", "can't you answer 1 F'ing question correct". Or the band teacher tell a kid to stick a flute where the sun don't shine.

Times have changed and kids nor their parent like being mistreated or embarrassed. And if you are a parent that doesn't have a problem with other adults mistreating you child then you obviously shouldn't be a parent.
