Fifteen Long Island players, two coaches suspended

Okay, I understand where some of these are a little reckless considering parents are expecting the coaches to be looking out for their children on these trips. I also agree that they should probably lose their coaching jobs but I think that people seem a little overly upset about this. I'm sure these kids have seen people drink before, and who cares if they want to spend their money going to strip clubs or hiring strippers?

Shit, I wish I got to do those things when I was playing high school ball.

Same here. :) Just think of the extra motivation to go to state if you knew there was going to be a trip to a strip club afterwards. :D

:D

This thread reminded me of a bit from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. The winner of the annual Texas vs. Texas A&M football game got to make a trip to the Chicken Ranch. Now how's that for motivation? :D

Regardless, unless the kids were all 18 or older, the coach was wrong to do it. He effectively undermines the parents' authority to raise their children however they wish. It's the same reason why teachers aren't allowed to proselytize to students.

It says in the article it was a parent that took them off to the strip club....
