GREEN DEATH!

SCITUATE, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts youth soccer coach told parents in an e-mail his team of 6- and 7-year-old girls would be known as "Green Death," encouraged them to feed their daughters "undercooked red meat" and said "losing is for losers." Coach Michael Kinahan has since resigned from the Scituate Youth Soccer League. He says he was joking in last week's season-opening e-mail.

League official Chris Park told the Patriot Ledger of Quincy that Kinahan has a "wry, sarcastic" sense of humor and some parents understood the e-mail's tone. But others didn't and complained.

Kinahan also wrote he would heckle referees, expected players to "bleed a little" and wanted parents to cheer, not sit on the sidelines "sipping mocha-latte-half-caf-chinos."

I call that inspirational coaching if you ask me.

That's what sports should be about. Parents should be involved in their kid's games, and if they aren't, fuck 'em. Plus you should "bleed a little", you shouldn't half-ass it when you play sports, those people that half-ass piss me off. This coach maybe could've displayed better judgement with the e-mail, but he's done nothing wrong.

We're talking about 6/7 year olds here, not 16/17 year olds.

Lol, who bleeds in soccer?

But, he's right. Sport is much better as a little kid when your parents are there and cheering for you, that's for sure.
