[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP said the political posts are "out there".

I assume said Coach isn't arguing about marginal tax rates or changes to the Federal Flood Insurance Program.

If he's posting lunatic right wing conspiracy theory crap, it's valid to question what else he's into.

Still might be a great Coach, [b]but he's inviting the criticism.[/b]

Don't blame OP for Google searching someone or following them on Twitter.[/quote]

Are you the same person that believes it is acceptable and your duty to key cars of people that have political bumper stickers you do not agree with?

Because this "he has it coming!" attitude is straight up fascism.   [/quote]

Buddy, "inviting criticism" has nothing whatsoever to keying cars. No decent person would do so or even make that ideological leap.

It means I get to judge him personally and thinks he's a moron. He's entitled to his views and I am entitled to think he's stupid. That's all.[/quote]

I'm sure coach returns the sentiment. And people wonder why their kids don't get adequate play time and sit on the bench. Because their idiot parents can't disguise their derision.[/quote]

If the Coach is basing playing time of the kid based on what he perceives to be the beliefs of the parents, that is NOT a good Coach.

Also, well adjusted people don't put bumper stickers on their car, let alone political ones to whomever keep bringing that up.[/quote]

Do you think OP sounds well adjusted? Coaches don't want difficult parents and families on their teams no matter how good the kids are. OP has said they are entitled to personally judge and criticize. That doesn't sound like it will enhance the team experience and be good for team bonding in a fun atmosphere which is what a good coach wants.[/quote]

I'm not OP, but personally judging someone has nothing to do with team bonding or whatever.

Privately thinking to one's self: "Our Coach is an effing lunatic" is just fine.

And to the other poster -- if a police officer, plumber or anyone else is of the same persuasion, I will think they are lunatics too. I judge all!

Stop being such snowflakes. Don't excuse morons that believe crazy conspiracy theories as legitimate.[/quote]

First, we still have no idea what the "political view" is other than OP perceives it as "out there." You are making assumptions.

Second, I agree that we all judge people all the time.  And you are right that you can judge the random person on the street, the bank teller, your coworker, or whomever else.

Which is exactly why this post does not make sense.  It makes NO DIFFERENCE that this person is a coach, or that they post on social media.

Might as well have just posted "I think people with XX political view are dumb/lunatics." and put it in the political forum.[/quote]

The distinction is that OP's kid spends a lot of quality time with said Coach and in theory is supposed to be a mentor of good values.[/quote]
