Concerned mom thinks kids should not be exposed to... what she's exposing them to. |

2. They had already been exposed to it, courtesy of Mr. McDowell. |
|
Ms. Allred is making a point to the kids that his behavior was wrong & Mr. McDowell should be held to account.

4. What I got, was how much "concern" she showed for her kids... |
|
...and how little for the men actually maligned by the coach's words.
She had a lot of outrage for the language and imagery, and fuck all for the actual ideas being expressed.

3. What a fooking ditz. Exactly the wrong way to say all of the right things. |
|
And what's with the demonstration at the end? I think we're all familiar enough with the gesture, not to have it shown to us. BTW luv, if you wish to know of other interesting places BB bats can be placed, there are websites for that.
Question is her offence actually at the remarks and what they represent? Or simply that her kids were exposed to them? There's just a little bit to much Helen Lovejoy in the way this mother comes across for me to believe she has any actual concern for the people actually maligned by the coaches remarks.

7. Allred is a real piece of work. She does for left-of-center people . . . |
|
What Orly Taitz does for the wingnuts. What an embarassment.

Those kids don't look too traumatized. Every time she describes his words and actions they're smiling and holding back giggles. It's not cool to make homophobic remarks, etc. But honestly... kids are not as shocked by these things as their parents so desperately want to believe that they are. Do people forget what it was like to be a kid the second they pop out some of their own? I probably said worse things on a daily basis in second grade. She needs to be more worried about the display of bigotry, not hurting her widdle pwecious babies' (not-so) virgin ears.

10. the coach is an idiot, but the display with the bat didn't make things any better |
|
reading the statement was enough - we all know roughly the point

11. Why was the last 30 seconds of that needed? |
|
She painted a pretty good visual picture. Well that was awkward.

13. She certainly seemed to know what to do |
|
With the bat. She moved it in and out with the gentleness of an experienced "batter". ;)

23. Left little to the imagination |
|
Now I know what to say if she invites me to see her collection of strap-ons -- "shhh, the children are listening".

15. I don't understand this. |

What am I supposed to be taking away from this? Does this even belong on DU?

16. someone please tell me what he said WRONG to the men |
|
And why they are not making a complaint.
From what I read, rather than being insulted, he actions were far more likely to have been a turn on. It sounded like sexual horseplay in the wrong setting, where the family was present. Perhaps he was oblivious and thought they were not being observed and tried to come on to them.
I'm gay, and I know had he done that in front of me, I'd assume he was interested in getting together.
Merely using the word "homo" is not an insult if it's another gay guy saying it.

18. It's like the Happy Bear "good touches/bad touches" gone all wrong. |
|
In our school district, there's some poor bastard dressed in a bear costume and called Happy Bear. He goes from school to school talking about sexual abuse at home, school, and elsewhere by talking about good touches and bad touches. If this woman had been put in charge of Happy Bear, he'd be wearing fish net stockings and spiked dog collar and talking about sexual appetites.
God, what a display.

I don't even begin to understand her reasoning here.

22. Was this MLB or the minors? |
|
If MLB did Bud Selig order the coach suspended and fined? Did the team owner do anything?
Same for whoever oversees the minors.

24. Why did Gloria put the little girls in the video? |
|
What the heck, she just exposed them to the event a second time! But FIRE the coach. Fire him now. No severance package, no benefits, nothing but a swift kick in the a&&.
