Not impressed

I know it has been a long time since I wrote a new B to the Log post but hey here is the latest of whats on my mind
....

There is something seriously wrong with the head coach of the Kindersley Kobras football team. My younger brother who has played football for the last 5 years (most experience on the team), was the starting quarterback in grade 9 and 10, and now entering grade 11, has had his role on the team reduced to special teams.
The head coach has a personal grudge against him for an incident that occurred almost a year ago during class in which my bro and a few of friends were not thinking and recorded them selves saying a few inappropriate things. Now my bro was punished by the school administration in an appropriate way. The head coach who I will now refer to as dick wad, kicked him off the football team saying he is a horrible person. Now that year is done. In the world of high school it's all about learning and my brother has learned a valuable lesson from this. Don't be a dumb ass-plain and simple. But with the new football season upon us he was not allowed to join the team because of this incident from last year.
Then once my parents brought up the fact that school punishments NEVER continue from year to year, the dick wad says his grades are not good enough to play football. Valid point, but my brother is sporting an average in the mid 70's. There are kids on this football team that are down right failing yet they have no grief. There are kids on this team that made bomb threats to the school from payphones yet they have no grief.
Whats the problem here. In a society we live in where forgiveness and second chances are part of what we stand for, why does a 16 year old who just wants to play a sport he loves and excels at have to constantly be punished for such a minor incident? Is dick wad a bully? I would say so. So dick wad, if you are reading this I would like you to maybe listen in on the bullying seminars your student-athletes are required to sit in on. You could learn a few things. This is Canada and if a guy who can go a kill someone gets out of jail and has a new life, gets all his rights back, let the best player in your football team use his talent and play. A 1 day in-school-suspensions does not warrant being bullied by a dick wad and not allowed to play football.
There was no problem when he joined the Volleyball team!

If anyone else thinks this is wrong PLEASE post a comment!!!!!!

Wow, that felt good!!!
