Message: [QUOTE="SUGIANT, post: 99719, member: 1143"] I don't know what to tell you if you can't understand the negative affect of a prominent head coach calling victims of abuse, liars, before all the facts are out there, means. He didn't just hurt feelings he potentially quieted victims of abuse that are already leery of highlighting what happened to them because of the responses like he gave. I don't think he deserves to be fired, but his very public and agressive tone was at the very least inapproriate. I think he was trying to stand up for someone he trusted for 35 years and I think he'll get burnt for it, but I also think with all the examples of comments like these causing issues he should have learned from those examples. From an abuse victims perspective what he said does more than just hurt feelings and that is really the only perspective people should be looking at this now. [/QUOTE]
