[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Appreciate response above for perspective. My DH & I are fairly clueless to HS sports culture (both of us grew up in under-resourced areas with virtually no HS sports), and frankly I find the comments of my kid's coach and your kids' coaches appalling.

Why do they get a free pass to be a**holes to our kids and how does it help anyone? There is constructive feedback on how to improve your game, tough love, or whatever. But the demeaning personal comments serve no purpose other than to bully and shame.

What if throwing around phrases like rainbows are for f*****, were said to a closeted gay kid? What if the kid being accused of acting like a robot is on the autism spectrum? On my kid's team, there are at least 2 families with same-sex parents. How do their kids feel about hearing this language? [/quote]

They get a free pass because parents give them one.

I did not. Two of mine went to Division 1 college sports without coaches like this. [/quote]
