I'm not sure how many on here may be familiar with TV's "King of the Hill".  There was an episode where the underachieving(in his dad's eyes, and probably most of modern culture's as well) Bobby Hill was used as "the stick"(as opposed to the carrot), by his track coach to shame his teammates who were not putting forth their full effort.  I'm not saying I agree nor disagree with the folks who were saying this was the case here with Buddy, but found this a rather humorous way of illustrating it with some characters that some may be familiar with.

This is the only clip I found of it, and it skips over the shaming part, to where Bobby was called on to perform in an actual emergency.  The sound is (likely purposefully, to avoid getting noticed by copyright bots?) out of synch, but I still found it humorous, and possibly a metaphor for this team.

Is Buddy, "The Stick", like the one who lead this track team to a championship? (The coach thought it was a stroke of brilliance when he found "The Stick", and Bobby's classmates were suddenly chanting his new nickname).
