Basketball coach suspended indefinitely for going into the bleachers to confront heckling fans during a game at Wakefield. What is happening? People have really lost the plot.

Confront? The boy attacked people. Dude needs to be gone yesterday. Plus, TC basketball is crap.

Geez Louise! These sports games are out of control. They should start playing without crowds. A shame that the coach couldn’t control himself.

He gone.

So as I understand it the ACHS head coach was been tainted and heckled by parents FROM HIS OWN TEAM. So ACHS parents were yelling insults during a game at their own coach.

So now we have a coach who lost his cool abs engaged with spectators (big no no) but we also have parents who think it’s their right and acceptable to verbally taunt and heckle their own coach. All parties involved are shameful.

ACHS on lock down due go social media threats. How are kids supposed to learn in this environment? It’s something everyday.

I fault my fellow parents. They are embarrassing. They should have all been thrown out of the game and forbidden to come back until they 1) apologized to everyone for their bad behavior and poor language, and 2) performed some sort of community service.

Ahhhh, the soft bigotry of low expectations. White parents should know better than to heckle, but black coach is absolved of responsibility for attacking people.

Aahhhhh, I get it. So it was okay for the white people to taunt and criticize and disparage him because he was black. You're saying he was MORE wrong because he let his embarrassment and anger at the harassment get the better of him, right!?!

I have lived all over the world and Alexandria is one of the most racist cities I've ever lived in. The racism is institutionalized in all aspects of our city government and it is inculcated from birth in the offspring of the city's white so-called liberal families.

What part of 'words are different than punches' do you not understand?

I bet $100 your kids will end up in jail.
