volman09 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 QUOTE(topvol98 @ Jan 20 2007 - 04:28 PM) 826339148[/snapback] As an black man and someone who is over 35 years old, there is only one application when that word is used. I believe that the team that it was being referred to was of black kids. You can sugarcoat and try to overlook it any way that helps you sleep at night but if that had been my son's coach...... One word for you! OPINION! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris' hooligans Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 I haven't but lets not kid ourselves...you walk in a school you hear the word 100 times a day. His players dont have the right to be this upset over it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlman259 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 QUOTE(broadbat @ Jan 21 2007 - 10:28 PM) 826340352[/snapback] Hey volman09. Do they teach English at Ooltewah? And did you graduate? Hey broadbat this has nothing to do bout english so if your not going to post about the thread then dont say anything. I also played for Baker and i agree he should not have said what he did and it was totally wrong. He should be disciplined in some way but this man is not racist and he never showed favoritism towards the whites or african americans. Baker would go out of his way to help any of his players and i just hope that we can all just get over this and it has definitely gone to far.

hiway58 Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 "Hey broadbat this has nothing to do bout english" I think that statement pretty much answers Broadbat's question! Coach Baker must go. The school system needs to send a message to all coaches and teachers that such stupidity can't, and won't be tolerated.
