For me the dividing line here is telling them "check your manhood" and "whoever has the biggest manhood is going to win" and actually having them/meaning for them to do it.
That sounds like normal coach talk to me, and is fine, but actually reaching down and doing it? Thats over the line...
Totally agree. Especially when you're talking about underage boys.

back to my only point that was actually relevant to this thread. if you want to respond to this post, please address it:
"what exactly does "political correctness" have to do with firing a coach for instructing his team of underage young men to touch themselves in front of him and each other? there is nothing PC/liberal/conservative/religious about this."
A less contentious post, I can appreciate, seeing as I was not attacking anyone PERSONALLY, though it sure seems as if though it were taken that way initially. In any event, I guess the crux of the matter is that we have different opinions about the appropriateness of the incident. I simply do not see it as a lewd, lascivious behavior. I think he was trying to make a point and my old coaches, in cross-country no less, used some of the same antics as a type of psychological warfare. And no one thought the better of it. This was some 20+ years ago now.
But anymore, one cannot even approach the perception of having crossed a line, lest it provokes SOMEONE in some way. Perhaps I am overgeneralizing, but unless this guy really did have a history of inappropriate behavior or was a child predator in his own right, I simply don't see the harm in it. If I was the one asked to grab my balls, I would have laughed. I just don't think it was as unseemly as you are all trying to make it out to be.
Anyway, I do appreciate your humility in taking it down a notch.

agree with you... talk is one thing....action borders on pedophilia or a weirdo at best.
funny before I started my shift at the 7-11 today the manager Shakhur gave us all a big pep talk and had us all check our manhoods. I was OK with it, even a little excited.
