ROGER THE TYRANTIC COACH
My first year of high school in 1965 was not so bad (10th Grade) but at the 11th grade on the 12th we had a new coach. This guy lives and breathes football and worst yet he hounds students that do not go to his high school football games. Hey, not everyone is born with a sports gene.
I heard stories about Roger when his team lost his players went to congradulate the other team he didn't like it.He yelled to his football players "What are the hell are you doing ?" and gave all the members of his football team a 2 week detention.
If I myself was a member of his stupid football team I would made sure that my team would lose like throwing the football towards the opposing team. Even if Roger got extremely mad it would be music to my ears.
Anyway, I was glad Roger wasn't my gym teacher. Roger hounded students by letting the cheer leaders kiss the players who were members of the football team, but not the boys he was hounding , and as you can image that hurt, not only that he told most students not to talk to them, but only the teachers were allow to talk to them.
At that time like most boys they were worried about going to war, and decided to stick it out until they gradulated.They did not have any games on their mind.
As you might imaged the students that Roger hounded never went to any of his football games ,since they were not treated right during the daytime ,they surely will not be going to the stupid hound school during the evenings.
Roger even pointed fingers to the students in the balcony who did not go to his football games ,and they are not going to either. When people point a finger at someone there are five more fingers pointed back at them.
After gradulation most of the students went to war and fortunely most of them came back after two years in the armed services including the students that Roger had had hounded.
Since these students were bullied they probably would try to escape real life by reading super-hero comic books, and maybe still reading them way into adulthood. So if you see a grown adult reading super-hero comic books it is most likely they were bullied in childhood.
I guess the hounded students should have sued Roger for violating their civil rights. If they don't wanna go someplace they don't have to..
Yes, Roger did look like Hitler but slimmer.
When problems like dealing with Roger the tryant or people get extremly hurtful physically as well as emontionally their
only recouse is total abandonment. In other words just take off and leave everything behind and start life anew.
Football is just a game and some people take it way too seriously, like if their life were on the line, like if they miss or lose a game. They would also probably cause fights with the people of the other team.
