Oh come on. Is this really worth the panty knotting? So he's asking for help finding a date. At least he's trying to find a woman his age. I swear.
Also, I have to ask if you're honestly bitching that he used "your" instead of "you're." Considering the issue at hand here, that seems like a pretty silly thing to complain about, don't ya think? Maybe that's not what you're getting at in the second to last paragraph, but it's what I assume by the context and the italicized font for "your."
I'm not saying what the guy did was good, perse. I'm just saying you need to chill the fuck out.
Also, he's fucking 25 YEARS OLD. It's not like he's a middle-aged man doing this stuff.
[Reading the article now.]Oh come on! That's what you're bitching about? Are you fucking serious? There's not enough facepalms in the world to appropriately express my feelings towards what I think is your [over]reaction. As far as the "inappropriate behavior with a former team member, I do want to point out a line from the article.
Aagard later found a Times story about Hennum being investigated at Lake Washington for allegedly sending inappropriate texts. At that time, an athlete reported that while the team was at a hotel in Wenatchee, Hennum and another athlete were exchanging a flurry of texts late at night. He later admitted suggesting the athlete meet him alone, but said he was just trying to reach out to the girl, who was having some personal problems, according to the investigative file.
Now he said the girl was having personal problems,but I wonder how things were going in HIS life. I don't know the circumstances of the texts or the context, but for fuck's sake! If he was going through a tough time himself, he may not have been thinking clearly. He wouldn't be the first person to cross the line like a dumbass because he's having issues that he can't seem to cope with well.
Hey, guess what?
He resigned from his position Thursday.
The messages violated school policy, but he was not disciplined. The district did not renew his contract.
You wanna guess why he probably resigned? I'd wager it was to escape the flak/shame from random people like you, Cait. You say he was "smug," but have you even fucking met the guy? No? Well then maybe you should shut up before you judge him and his character.
Still not convinced he feels like shit for all this? How's this for another piece of evidence?
He did not return three phone messages and two emails from a reporter. By Thursday afternoon, his photo and biography had been removed from the school’s softball team website.
Yeah, I'm sure he's not in the mood to defend himself or talk to reporters right now. I don't blame him. He's already been treated like shit in this thread, and I'm sure that our "assessment" of him isn't an isolated event! Shame on the haters. They just latch on the idea of "Oh, a guy who's too awkward/shy to directly talk to women? He's a coach and therefore obviously not nerdy? HOW DARE HE!" Give the guy a fucking break. Hell, I'm sure he'd get chewed out if he was an obvious nerd. Hell, the flak might be worse.
Hm...I wasn't expecting my defense to be so long and passionate. I just have been coming up with this stuff out of the blue, pretty much.
