Corbin Coach reprimands player for wearing Pink
old_school_hero Wrote:If I remember correctly, I believe the news report from last night is that the Corbin administration is backing Coach Jewell on this. Also, I believe I read earlier that Corbin has already been wearing the pink ribbon sticker on their helmets?

With that being said, I see both sides to this. The KHSAA rules are pretty cut and dry and to the point. Also, a football team is 30, 40, 50, 60 players who make up 1 unit and unity and uniformity are key to this....it's not 1, 2, or 3 players standing out on their own. If you are going to do something, make sure the entire team is doing it...getting the coach's approval first.

I've got a close family member who has suffered off and on from cancer for the last 5 years and I am in 100% support of what the month of October means and I can understand why some players wear the pink to support the cause. However, there are some who are just out to wear the pink and to make themselves stand out. I know that is kind of callous to say, but it is true.

All in all, if the player broke a team rule by wearing the pink towel and the pink gloves, then he is wrong....especially is the entire team is wearing the ribbon on their helmet. On the other hand, if the reports are true to the way Coach Jewell handled the situation , then he is in the wrong as well.

wearing pink gloves in honor of breast cancer = grass drills and losing your starting spot finding out what kind of person your coach is after a 34 point beating by Bell PRICELESS
