my son and one of his teammates were discussing the game (the opposing team was playing dirty) and how their team can improve. One of the kids from my sons team over heard the conversation and started cussing, using every 4 letter word in the book. Told the other kid 'Go back to your own country! Puerto Rico, Mexico. I don't care, just go back there'. The kid is a natural US citizen. Then used the N word. I never liked the way the kid plays. I know it's legal in basketball, but it's very poor sportmanship to put your hand over the opposing teams eyes when they have the ball.
How can parents let their kids get that bad? See this behavior and not do anything about it?
The child is being kicked off the team. The coach was right on top of it once she heard what had happened.

The day that they took corpral punishment out of the school system, was the very day that our trouble began, when the kids got paddled for acting up, they refrained and learned manners, now there are no repurcutions for bad behavior, divorce is over 50% and the ex spouses, look for anything that they can use in court against the other, hence no spnking, so its society, and my friend, i am raising my daughter the right way, to show respect to adults, when ever i see these kids out of control i wanna smack their dad, im sure that you feel the same way,

Wow, that is appalling and disturbing. It is clearly the product of parental upbringing or lack thereof. NOT that I am one of those pinkos that blame parents for everything...but it is obvious they either herd this at home or if not, their parents just never put their foot down about it.
That is awful. I am European-American and that even offends me. I am quit sick of the anti-Hispanic sentiment in this (this being U.S) nation. It is totally historically blind and culturally ignorant. I find it to be a double-standard in the worse form coming from a white person.
Not too mention what is the "Puerto Rico, Mexico" comment about? Not only were they imbecile, racist, uneducated little punks they clearly are geographically naive and as well unspeakably unworldly!!!
Puerto Rico, Mexico? All I can say to that is WTF?
That would be like saying, "Canada, United States."
Wow....I didn't really think someone could be THAT stupid, well yes I did, I just don't like to accept it.
Anyway, I am glad that the basketball coach is stepping up on this and doing something...not just let it slide.

Way to go coach! At least someone in that poor child's life has some common sense. The sad thing is that the boy got those ideas from somewhere, hmmmm could it possibly have been his parents. That coach needs to turn the parents into CPS and they should be required to attend parenting classes and sensitivity training. That's incredible and sad.

Give that coach a GOLD star! Seriously, I'd make a personal comment to the coach commending her for standing up for decency. And the kids parents need to take a hard look at what their son is becoming.

Im going out on a limb and declaring the purple Sox. initially Jon Lester will be on the mound, and the Yankees have by no ability overwhelmed him ( A Rod is a million-11 adverse to Lester). Secondly i believe that the purple Sox are drained of being close out and that i ensure that they are going to come out with a no lose attitude which will stay with the team all evening. Lastley, out of 11 video games the purple Sox have in common words lost 3, they owned the Yankees before and that i look ahead to them prevailing back tonight. impartial answer I dislike both the purple Sox and the Yankees... Im a Braves fan

Well the coach did the right thing. Some parents cant see past skin color and they pass that down to their children. I personally thing that its a bad thing to teach a child to show hate towards someone just because their skin is a different color.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The child who spoke that way probably hears that kind of language at home and is allowed to watch crappy TV shows that depict that sort of behavior.

lol you need to watch a canadian old timers hockey match, or listen to the parents berate the coach when their little leaguer fails to score a goal. its about parents wanting kids to live and fulfill the dreams they never could, instead of letting their kids have their own. what a pity. and what a waste.

Children behave exactly like their parents, despite our best efforts to teach them otherwise.
As parents, yes we provide lessons and instruction, but the most lasting impressions are the examples we set.

I think that if they cant play without being mean like that than they shouldnt play. It all stems back from the parents.
