Even if it was just the pink cleats. What coach would want a kid on the field looking like a pansy? If he would have wanted that he would have incorporated pink into the teams colors. I'm sure the other cleats probably didn't stand out as much as the pink one.


So let me ask you this. Why couldnt the kid just say OK coach I will change them and thanks for letting me wear them during the game. I'm sure that would meant a lot to my grandmother.

The more I think about it the kid sound liek an ungrateful little ***** with a closet full of cleats when plenty of other kids would love to have one pair of.
there it is. nothing to do with the real principle, its because pink is a "pansy" color and anybody who wears pink looks like a pansy. I would LOVE for you to tell some of the big NFL players, who wore pink proudly during October for breast cancer awareness that pink makes you look like a "pansy"

just admit it, you are only defending the coach because the cleats were pink. If the cleats were bring yellow, this would be a non-issue.

it does not matter what it "sounds like" or what you think went on, the facts are all that matters.

the kid sounds like a kid trying to do right by his grandma, who gave him the cleats to wear, and was mad because the coach let him wear tons of different cleats but jumped his **** because he was wearing the pink cleats given to him by his cancer-survivor grandmother.

but if we go that way, what it sounds like to me is a coach that has problems with his masculinity and was mad because the kid wore "pansy, sissy girlie" colors.
