Overheard sexist coaches talking about girls on the team

The advice below is silly. The coaches will simply deny it. It's your word versus theirs. Given above and that going to an administrator will lead to nowhere, your only real option is to show some nerve and approach them in person. If you can't do that, then clearly its not important enough to you.PERIOD.

I've never been a coach but I have to say this is ridiculous.

My head coach ended up marrying one of his athletes (only 2 year difference, they were teammates before he took over), two of my assistant coaches are still with former athletes etc.

Men and women are attracted to each other. Sexually! It's the way it is.

The coaches were dumb for discussing it in earshot of anyone, but they weren't actually harassing the girls so you should let it go. If anything you should tell them not to discuss it for the sake of the wrong person overhearing. Don't be the wrong person who ruins their lives though.

If you caught them harassing the girls, then I'd say go ahead and ruin their lives.

Are they good coaches who care for the runners overall, or are they miserable twats (like a lot of coaches) who somehow found their way to being a "coach". If it's the latter, go ahead and screw them over as best you can. The fewer crappy coaches, the better. Runners would be better off without them.

what I love about these perv coaches is they cant poach like this at a bar, other social setting where they don't have the power haha..

keep preying on THE WEAK cause you cant hang IN THE REAL WORLD COACH

^ true

This must happen every single second of every single day. That said, I'd relish taking them down.

O...M...G....

Could people overreact any more?! So the coaches are "privately" objectifying the female runners...BIG FREAKING DEAL!!! As long as they aren't actively harassing the girls, who gives a rat's arse?

Good god, I'm not even one of the whacko extremist conservatives on this board, yet even I can be annoyed by the wimpy political correctness in some of the responses.

There is a difference between being politically correct and using any means necessary to weed out suck-ass coaches, of which there are far too many. I could care less about what they said, except that it could be used effectively against them.

Next time bring a voice recorder. Then upload the conversation to youtube.

It would be in the coaches' best interests that they be told that such talk could lead to being fired and having their reputations ruined. In other words, they deserve a warning. Send them an anonymous message if you don't want to confront them directly. You would be doing them a favor. Maybe, just maybe, they will wise up.

Say something to the coaches. They will be embarrassed. Talk to the A.D. and they will look around and try to see who is the snitch. Someone will rat you out.

In the slammer, they say "snitches get stitches"

Stay out of it.

This happens all the time. They think some girls are hot. I've heard female coaches openly talk about guys rear ends. Guess what happened?

Nothing.

If you are really certain it's harmful and really want to do something, see if the A.D. had a mailbox or suggestion box for privacy.

Drop something in there.

But, I think your in a lose-lose

Could you guys be any bigger pvssies? Either man up and say something to them face to face or let it go. Their conversations aren't any of your business anyways so when you bring it up you should hope you don't get cut.

I talked with teammates(guys and girls) about it. The guys said the coaches are always like that with them and say worse. Some of them said they told them its inappropriate or shake their heads but they still talk like that daily anyways.

This is the anonymous note because the coaches check here daily.

High school?

This is most certainly NOT the norm.

A real man would have directly addressed the issue with the coaches right then and there rather than using it as fodder for a post on one of the most sexist websites polluting the internet.

Welcome to the world of guys, get over it or go lez.

I overheard two of our coaches at practice talking about some of the girls on our team they would hook up with. They were very explicit in their convo.

Should I bring it up with the AD or keep quiet? This is college btw.

Well, it depends entirely on the context, of which there's very little given here. Details matter.

But given the way you've described things, I'd also expect there's probably a history of it, and very likely situations where women have felt harassed by one or 2 of these coaches.

If you're thinking about it enough to ask on the forum, then I suspect you already know what to do.

Yep. This is reality.

Some of you on here are crazy, insisting that the coaches should be ruined. Seriously, if a few girls were talking about guys they think are hot, and one says she'd sleep with Professor ___ or Coach ___, no harm done. If a coach says he'd hit that if it came his way, no harm done.

For every woman who bitches about guys being weird, creepy, shy, not 'real men,' this is why. Decades of 'sexual harrassment' whistle-blowing that now causes guys to obscure, hide, or deny who they are. IF YOU BLOW A WHISTLE ABOUT SOMETHING THIS PETTY, YOU'RE CONTRIBUTING TO THE FURTHER DECLINE OF SOCIETY.
