Exactly. I coached youth football for years, and I never had to cuss a kid out to get the results I wanted.

Lol... I played youth ball from the age of 7 all the way up until HS ball. I can tell you without a doubt that every year I played . From my days in the 75lb weight class up until my senior year in HS. Coaches cussed. I'm not saying all coaches cuss but when our squads bus rolled up to an opponent's field. We showed up cussing. Lol. We would chant about how we were getting ready to best that *** before we even got off the bus. Cussing and football go hand in hand.

Go Canes!!!!!!

Agreed 100%.

But he IS (in Marshawn's case was) providing a service for NFL consumers. You know, the basic functions of a market-based economy. That's the point about his (or any athlete's behaviors) during contractually obligated media periods.

In regards to Beast Mode's camp, he was providing a FREE (I believe) service to the kiddos (and parents as well). If they didn't like his technique, let them vote with their feet (apparently at least one did). If he didn't like their attitude (as reported), he asked them to leave.

Everybody scored.

I think the whole news story centers arounds words and are they "hurtful/harmful/inappropriate". Some on here believe yes (ok), some on here believe it's part of life (ok).

For me in this instance, its symptomatic of a much larger problem in society of less and less comfort with being uncomfortable. This is 100% to the detriment of the growth and resiliency of our society's members as functioning adults.

Now, que the harps and gentle breezes so all are soothed and calm.

Who gives af if people cuss? What are you a 95 year old women by the name of Karen? The vast majority of successful adults cuss. The group that doesn't cuss and uses words like "golly" and "gee willikers" are the small minority of middle class people. How do you think the majority of fortune 500 execs, politicians, or the guys on wall street talk if schit hits the fan? Do you think they say "gee wiz that employee is really not living up to expectations lets fire him" or do you think its more a long the lines of "Fire that son of a *****"?

These parents should sit through a high school football practice and see the **** that's said there. Lynch isn't wrong here, and the mom's need to face the harsh reality that this is generally the environment that you'll see in football.

Yeah, much worse.

My senior year in HS our coach was Eddie Feely, former star QB at FSU and later a successful coach in the state having won a state championship at Merritt Island.

They used to have us run a formation called "N____r Left" and "N____r Right." The rest of my teammates thought it was funny....as did the coaches (mostly recent starters from FSU and UF).

I didn't find it funny, but had to keep my mouth shut.

I came from a different background, I was a recent transplant from South Florida. Everybody else was from Central Florida and up north beyond that. The more north you went the more Southern it became.

Right over your head. Let me know how many elementary kids you've got on Wall Street, in Washington, whatever boardroom, etc. Thanks.

Not over my head at all. You said you expect adults to act like adults. Adults curse.

Some adults cuss. Generally it shows a lack of creativity with one's words. More often than not, lack of self control and respect for whomever you're directing it towards. The man I respect most in life, he's 98 now, I've heard cuss twice. He has everyone's respect whenever he is around.

You tried comparing Wall Street and the boardroom to a kids camp. You're either obtuse or just trying to make some dumbass point. Most would agree cussing should be kept away from kids, but I'm sure the board residents just let them say whatever they like.

That is great for him. However, you can use all the anecdotes you like about how the 98 year old town librarian is the most respected man you know and he doesn't curse. I could name people that curse who have the respect of auditoriums of people when they speak, and they curse all the time. However, that is pointless because the most powerful man in the world curses all the time. The man even curses in his speeches when he is addressing millions. The second most powerful man in the world also curses, and we could go down the line.

I know very few adults that think cussing should be kept away from kids. The ones that I know, that think that, are the ones that aren't schit and their kids are going to be schit either. They are going to end up soft shouldered pussies who get offended at the drop of a hat.

Good call there, trying to prove your point with undeniably the least respected and most disliked president we've ever had nationally and globally. The problem people have with him is largely his mouth with its foul speech and general lack of concern for anyone not named him. Most powerful or not, debatable, he is a far cry from what any sane person would aspire to be.

Auditoriums aren't filled with people cussing at the masses assembled in front of them. Quit reaching. I've seen and been to too many professional events to know that isn't the case. That doesn't mean they don't cuss behind the scenes, but it isn't front and center when they are acting as a professional.

The rest, you just come across as a dumbass. You've shown your colors far too many times for me to get suckered into your silly little world that you think people care about. You're so insecure it isn't even funny, what a sad individual you come across as.

I just don't know how the world has made it this far without the most influential men in history putting pen to paper without cussing.

Quit being stupid, problem isn't cussing. Time and place and this chump acted the fool in the video.

Ya, that is why people hate him, because he curses. Not because of his political views. :zczkqmritjdsoaq.jpg: :zczkqmritjdsoaq.jpg:

That guy is hated so much he is going to be president for another 4 years.

I would bet anything he is respected by a lot more people than your librarian friend.

It really isn't debatable. Who would you consider more powerful? Putin? He curses quite often as well. Same with Xi Jinping.

I never said these guys are cursing in their speeches. Why would they curse when giving speeches? Marshawn doesn't curse when giving speeches either. He cursed when people weren't following instructions.

I come off as a dumbass and you come off as a soft shouldered loser who has had very little success.

Now go back to your safe place, where there is no cursing.
