Football coach fired after trying to take team to Hooters

[UrbScotty]

A Portland-area middle school football coach who said he was willing to lose his job rather than back down from plans for a team party at Hooters has lost his job.

The athletic director for the Corbett School District, Jean-Paul Soulagnet, sent a letter to parents Monday night telling them the end-of-season awards party the team voted to attend at Hooters was no longer a Corbett Middle School event.

...

Burbach said he would not bow to pressure to move the party, because he always told his boys to stand up for what they believe in.

“I’m not allowing myself to be bullied by the vocal minority is the example — is the war — I want to win,” he told KGW. “It’s the only war I can win right now.”

1. So offering a powerful incentive to do the right thing, or to discourage someone from doing

the wrong thing is 'bullying?'

"Stand up for what you believe in?"

So this hamhock 'believes in' taking middle school boys to a bar the sole purpose of which is to objectify women?

Enjoy unemployment, idiot...

2. I hate it when people try to compare things to war that obviously is nothing like war

Or when football players are called "warriors" or whatever.

Really? You're fighting a war? You are going to shoot and kill people and experience some of the worst things humanity has to offer during your fight over a trip to Hooters? After you stuff a couple of body bags, fight off some grieving families who want nothing more than the remains of their loved ones, and feel the impact of combat emotionally and mentally, let me know. then I'll take your war seriously.

Please don't call anything other than war a "war".
