Maryland head coach DJ Durkin placed on administrative leave

http://www.espn.com/college-football...-toxic-culture

This part of the article was quite strange. Because, I don't know one coach that DOESNT do this. At least at the college and HS level.

"Durkin oversaw Maryland's practice Saturday morning. ESPN on Friday reported allegations from current and former players, and current and former staff members, of bullying, verbal abuse and humiliation directed at players. Coaches have reportedly endorsed unhealthy eating habits and used obscenity-laced epithets meant to mock players' masculinity."

Sticking up for some mediocre, overpaid, sadistic asshole eh?

Good luck with that.

My high school basketball coach called me "Damn it". It was my nickname. Damn it. People in school started calling me "damn it", even. Would tell us to "put a dress on" if we didn't play physical. And ran us so hard at times I puked in a trash can.

In college, I had some buddies on the football team. The assistant coaches would stop by in the cafeteria see what they were eating. For the ones who needed to gain weight, they would put some cookies and brownies on their plates. Tell them to eat up lol

All examples of bullying, verbal abuse, humiliation, promoting unhealthy eating habits, and mocking my masculinity.

I am scarred for life to this day.

Putting brownies on your plate. Totally the same thing as this: "They always had me come back for extra meals. Once, I was sitting down eating with a coach, and he basically made me sit there until I threw up. He said to eat until I threw up."

"A former staff member recalled a time when one player was in a team meeting with food on a plate because he was rushing from a meal to get to the meeting, and Court smacked the plate of food out of the player's hands, yelling at him."

Saying, "Damn it," totally the same as,

"That was an everyday thing. I've seen him get physical with guys sometimes, throw objects at guys sometimes, small weights, anything he had in his hand at the time. I don't think he was trying to intentionally hit them, but I know for a fact he purposely threw them in their direction."

"Another former player alleged the staff made an injured player do a tug-of-war competition against the whole defensive back unit.

'They made him do it with one hand," he said. 'Coach Court called him a p---- after he didn't win. One [player] was doing a tug-of-war ... and he passed out. ... I saw his body slowly giving away, and the strength coach was like, "Keep pulling, keep pulling!" ... He collapsed on the ground. He looked at him like, "You quit on the team." It was really barbaric.'"

These people are ****ing scum. They're not hardass coaches, they're cowards hiding behind the authority of their positions, threatening kids. **** them and anyone that defends this horseshit.

The coaches have some serious inner demons.

It takes a sadistic upbringing to grow to the point of treating other people like that.

So you don't think I was emasculated and humiliated? That is good to hear. It still haunts me to this day.

Leave Damn It alone.

There is a line you cross with hazing. It's never the same line and it's easily missed.
