Exercise your human rights.
Imagine if you are discriminated by a job, what would you do? You hire a lawyer and take it to court, right? And yes, we live in silent when it comes to high school sports policy. Why? What happens if we take a stand? What happens if we try to make it better for our kids, our friends, our students, our teammates? Is living in a better world going to make people care more for other people? Equal employment, equal rights, equal opportunity. We hear this every day in our lives, and yet, we do not applied it when it comes to high school sport policy. We are the players’ rights in sport? Parents of all players, if you don’t see the kids play for so many games, stand up and walk out of that gym. Players, look at your teammates, who are also your friends, if they don’t get to play, walk out! Spectators, if you see a certain number of kids just sit there after 30 minutes or so, cheer loudly for them. Get the coach to put them in. They are your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. They deserve the same respect as others. Do something, anything to get the kids’ rights back from those coaches that controlling them.
Stop the adults' bully system in school.
School athletic directors, assistant coaches, teachers, and principals stand back and proudly announce that they can’t do anything about the complaints toward coaches. What is wrong with this picture? They condone the abuses. They encourage the utterly quiet bully system to exist in their schools. Oh yes, but schools go on advertising that they won’t allow bully and have a program to support that concept. But as long as it is between coaches and players, teammate to teammate, it is ok. It is allowed. It is tolerated. This is so corrupted! This is so hypocrite! And sure, they call themselves “educators“. What a laugh. Give me a break already.
It is time for us all to stand up and take back the power that we have placed in the wrong hands. Coaches should learn to treat all players with fairness, and justice. Coaches are not bully. Coaches are role models to teach our children to be good people. Give our sport players the same rights, same chances, same opportunity to play. Make them better. They will always remember good coaches who has high values, principles, integrity, and make a different in their lives than not.
