[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know the coach’s politics have nothing to do with his/her coaching, unless they’re attempting to indoctrinate children — which doesn’t appear to be happening. You not only disagree with the coach’s views, but you don’t respect those views, so you now think less of the coach as a person. That’s what’s making you uncomfortable.

You need to compartmentalize. You can think coach’s political views are moronic or offensive while still acknowledging that the coach is knowledgeable about the sport and a good instructor to the kids. Make sure you are respectful to the coach and do not denigrate him or her. Your kid should have no idea that you know anything about the coach’s politics.[/quote]

My HS kid brought it to our attention because your kid should follow their travel coach on Twitter.  Unfortunately, the coach does use the same account for personal things as sports things...luckily, the postings are 1000 sports tweets/retweets to every 1 personal posting (and even then only 1 out of 10 personal postings are even political).

I am not surprised and the coach doesn't bring it to the field...but some of the postings are out there.[/quote]
