It is okay for everyone to have opinions I've learned airing dirty laundry will get you no where and i learned that the hard way but what i don't get is how people are saying it's unfair to be posting negative comments about teammates and how we were bullying etc which is true it was not okay.. but now lets look at whats being said about my team and my coaches.. calling my coaches arrogant and say that they're unprofessional, making comments about how certain athletes aren't strong enough for smoed.. That is exactly what my teammates got crap for and now parents who got pissy at us for it are doing it thats my main issue. I don't understand why this thread has god knows how many pages over ONE athlete who is not associated with our program anymore. It may not be my place what so ever to be posting what i am on this site but i'm tired of just my team getting beat down when there is SO much more to this than anyone realizes.
With all due respect, you and your team consented to this reality show. So when an episode comes out that tells a seemingly untruthful story about an athlete, and quite honestly does paint your team in a less-than-positive light when you place it against other evidence, you should be prepared for backlash.
And please don't confuse all of this discussion for disrespect for your teammates or your program. It's not that, it's just reaction to a dramatic series of events that does certainly appear to be bullying against an 18-year-old kid. Personally, I consider it unprofessional for coaches to consent to an episode being produced that paints one of their former athletes this way and opens up their kids to this much criticism, but that's just my opinion.
