Parent Files Bullying Complaint Because of Loss of Football Game
Parent Files Bullying Complaint against Winning Football Team Coaches
Really? The thought of "Waah' comes to mind. In Texas, no less. What a sad commentary-if my kid's team loses, I'll file a complaint against the coaches....on the other team. Here's an idea-get better coaches on your own team. Maybe get the kids to play harder/better. Life is full of Victories, but most find it's full of even more defeats. As the saying goes, buy a helmet-it's called life.
Several parents of Western Hills players who attended Friday night's game described the loss as embarrassing. One parent, who declined to speak on the record, said that the Aledo coaches could have made more of an effort to keep the score down.
Buchanan insisted he and his fellow coaches did exactly that.
"In actuality, we probably could have scored a lot more," he said. "We did try to keep it down. I was really fearful that we were going to score 100."
Sorry, I have no pity. Sucks to lose, sucks even more for the opposing team to take pity on you.
Buchanan said he started substituting players in the first quarter. He also said the game clock ran continuously starting toward the end of the third quarter.But when asked why the team did not simply start kneeling the ball -- in effect, stop trying to play the game -- Buchanan was clear in his answer.
"To go out and tell your kids, 'No, I don't want you to play hard, because we're ahead,' that's against every fundamental coaching strategy that you have," he said.
Parents should sit back and watch and support their kids. Anyhting more than that form a parent is like those little league parents that want to fight the umpire....they need to grow up and be a good example to their children.

Amazing how parents think everyone else should kneel down to make little johnny/janey happy and feel good about themselves.
Obviously I dissent from the parent's actions. What about you?
The pussification of America continues, not to mention diluting and clouding the issue of bullying.
In Texas are you kidding Texas High school football is more important than jobs, the Bible, Church, School learning. So sad but true.
One of the core principles of this country is the equality of opportunity, not the equality of outcomes. I once played on a team which lost 76-7. It wasn't fun, but I don't recall any of my teammates or myself later getting PTSD from it. We sucked it up and played harder the next week.
Shit happens. Learn to deal with it.
Yes, it is that simple. In the best spirit of high school sportspersonship, the aggrieved party here would shake the hands of your opponent, then split. Yes, there was obviously a problem here.
A - Massive adult moral and ethical failure here - This is self-evident.
B - It is the kids here that are the victims.
C - When sports became less than sports and more like a profit machine.
