Coach is a good role model

Congress Shall make no law … meaning what it says. I believe this coach is well within his rights on or off duty to pray. I would like to draw a contrast to the actions of two events that happened in high school football. Last week the New Castle, Pennsylvania, team played Central Valley in which a riot occurred on the field before the game (See YouTube: Video shows brawl between Central Valley, New Castle football teams) this occurred when the coach of one team encouraged his players to go onto the field and stomp, spit and pretend to defecate on the logo. The response of the other coach was immediate — “clear the field.” 16 players and two coaches were suspended for one game. Both coaches incited a riot and both will be back on the field, and all are being supported by their fans. Pathetic.

You have a coach who wants the boys to compete, and have sportsmanship. Yet you want to get rid of him. Congratulations, you win. This just shows the moral decline of sports in our country and why we have so many players that are in trouble. Hats off to coach Kennedy and all other coaches and players that are good role models.
