Jared Hensley, the athletic director and assistant principal at Soddy-Daisy High near Chattanooga, was placed on administrative leave Wednesday afternoon, soon after he said girls "pretty much ruin everything' in a video he had made for the student body.

In a Wednesday morning video address to students called "A Helping of Hensley," he announces a ban on wearing athletic shorts. He acknowledges that boys will be unhappy about it, but he says he had made the rule.

"If you really want someone to blame, blame the girls, because they pretty much ruin everything," he adds.

"Ask Adam, look at Eve - you can really go back to the beginning of time."

1. If he truly said this they need to fire his ass.

What blatant misogyny.

2. I thought this had to be a joke, but he really said it

over the school PA. Here you go from the Chatanooga newspaper:

3. Dude must have no mother, wife, or daughters

because they would ruin everything for him.

7. Well, he probably doesn't have any female relatives anymore.

They've all disowned him.

[Guilded Lilly]

4. THIS is a huge part of the insidious war facing all females...

Male arrogance, entitlement and especially the accompanying ignorance.
This person does not belong in a school system.

5. self centered jock @@$%%&&* tthey always ruin things . they get away with @#$%&*()_

i was in a all jock high school. they basicly ran everyting. if u were black, in the special ed dept or the gifted program or one iota different the sops went after you. (ultimate revenge was when they asked a giffted student to help them with their homework ) there was no recourse . good for the school putting the ad on leave ..( shoulda been fired ) my special ed teacher was also the footbal coah , came in drunk half the time and always talked about girls in the negative sense . sorry for the long rant and vent .

6. Hey, Jared! Bitter much? Misogynist or anything?

It's a lot of crusty, bitter, rejected men around who resent and dislike women. Sadly, many of them are involved with school administration. That man should resign and seek another line of work, where he won't be overseeing the education of young people, half of whom are female.

8. you see sports is only for boys and now with girls wanting sports he needs to divert from deserving

boy sports

perhaps he would suggest competitive cooking and sewing

9. I'm envisioning an incel with a whistle and a polyester polo shirt.

10. I know this is a little off topic

But why would they ban athletic shorts?

[Grins]

15. Me too.

"Athletic" shorts. What about other, every day shorts?

I can understand if he had just said "No shorts. Of any kind." But this...?

[petronius]

18. My guess is he/they really wanted to ban girl's athletic shorts for being too 'sexy'

But lacking the imagination to craft a non-discriminatory policy, he decided to fly his bigot-flag instead...

11. what is he 5 years old?

what a fucking moron.

[B Stieg]

12. And How cruel...

is the story of Eve?
What responsibility
It has in history.
For cruelty.

And man, poor man,
Is he fit to rule,
Pushed to it?
How can he carry it, the governance,
And not suffer for it
Insuffisance?
He must make woman lower than
So he can be higher than.


(Stevie Smith, 1962)

13. Certainly did a number on his career plans

[Liberalagogo]

14. Let's see....

Who wrote that magical story you're referring to?

It wasn't a magical fairy, it was MEN.

[ROB-ROX]

16. FIRE THE BASTARD

This person has lost the ability to work around young people. This may be a trend with his area, his state, or area of the country. This man just does not know any better and it is time to FIRE THE BASTARD. He is also a poor excuse for a functioning adult.......

[WhiteTara]

17. The thing I hope ruin is the patriarchy so that

we can all be considered human.

[Stuart G]

19. I understand..That makes two very stupid people that can't keep their mouths shut..

[Oneironaut]

20. Of course he's a creationist douche.

If you made a Venn diagram of creationists and misogynists, it would be a circle.

[onenote]

21. And in his mind, the suspension only will prove that he's right.

[malthaussen]

22. Wow, I pretty much find that women make everything better...

... something wrong with me, I guess.
