    Can’t respond to all the posts at once and my experience pre dates social media but..having actually been an athletic director (my real title was athletic supervisor but I liked AD better lol) under the Recreation Director of a smaller town in southeast Florida as my first full time job after graduating from UF, I think I am somewhat of an expert on parental behavior across many types of youth sports. My job included running every youth (and adult) sports/leagues for the city …I was the head honcho in charge.

    And I can tell you from my experience…every single sport (we didn’t have swimming so cannot comment in that sport) we ran - baseball, basketball, soccer, softball, flag football, etc… had parents that were horrible. It isn’t specific to a single sport.

    I have seen baseball parents throw punches in the stands, a soccer father rush a field to choke a 14 year old ref during a 5-6 year olds soccer game (police called), basketball parents using their children during a divorce to hurt everyone and anyone, etc.

    no one sport has a monopoly on the bad behavior of parents and coaches. I saw it across all sports and man did it sour me on that job.

    the kids…most of them were awesome really, but the parents - be it rec league or travel ball…many were just awful.

    I mean I get it but wooooooow that just seems super harsh. I didn’t see the video but if it’s literally him in his car just signing along I think it’s safe to say there isn’t bad intent? It’s like a private conversation….not revoking of a scholarship for the best school on earth

    and man we better hope we keep Rashada

    Kids need to learn that putting everything on social media is stupid. And, this is why I self-edit when I'm rapping along with Bone.

    Hmmmm, anyone else wonder if this is an easy way to just move along, opening up another roster spot? Personally, if he was singing along to words of a song, I don't think it was meant to hurt anyone. Heck my favorite comedians use it all the time and I laugh with them, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, & Dave Chapelle, (Not a racist here). I personally think it's an easy way for both parts to part easily.... Wish him well as a player.

    GO GATORS!!!!

    This entire thing is stupid. We can’t live in a world where one race can’t sing a popular song. Either don’t put the word in lyrics or be okay with people singing the song.

    Yep, that and a double standard for zero tolerance. One side get a second chance, and the other side does NOT get any chances. That is BS!

    I'm beginning to dislike a lot about our sports program.
