Coach gets suspended for taking team to Hooters

So being served by waitresses wearing running shorts is a problem?

Does that school prohibit their athletes from attending Track Meets or going swimming at a beach?

He deserves to be fired. Not for taking the team to Hooters, but for being so stupid that he didn't realize that he'd get fired for taking his team to Hooters.

Good riddance.

The last thing the next generation of men need are coaches/leaders/role models who continue to support the idea that women are objects.

Objectification of the female body, which dehumanizes females, is what Hooters is all about. It was an absolutely horrible decision for this coach to take his team there and he should be held responsible for that extreme lapse of judgment.

If you knew that the Mom of one of the soccer players worked there, and she recently lost her husband, the boy's Father and she coached this group of boys in U12, and the team left a $1500 tip to help with funeral expenses would everyone still have an issue with this?

Still not right, and potentially MORE wrong under those obscure circumstances (which are not at all believable). Why not just send her a check from the team with a card or something?

Superbly bad judgment.

If a parent wanted to take their kids to Hooters, that's their decision. It isn't right for a coach, teacher, other parent, or other figure to take them there and normalize that misogyny and value set.

If "toxic" means that you don't support the objectification of females so that men grow up to view females as human beings rather than sex objects, then I'll gladly accept that label.

Come on, it's a restaurant. Get over it you liberal twit. This country is getting ridiculous, you people suck.

I don't think this has anything to do with #metoo. If this happened 15 years ago, the result would have been the same, unless it was a small dirty one-horse town.

I'm anti-PC and anti-bandwagon shaming, toxic feminism is real. This isn't that though. This isn't the SJW coming to attack an innocent person where everything has been overblown or taken out of context.

I would be furious if a coach took my son to hooters. It's trashy and low class.

That is a very persuasive argument, my good sir. Thanks for your invaluable input!

Seems like a super awkward celebration meal. It's one thing for a group of high school boys to go to Hooters together, but going with your coach would just feel weird. It might not be on quite the same scale as going to a strip club with your grandparents, but kind of a similar idea.

Know your role in the kids' lives. You don't have to think that Hooters is a terrible place to recognize that your gray-haired self doesn't belong in the middle of a Hooters dinner with a bunch of teenagers.

Sonic has guys and gals on roller skates/roller blades bringing customers their meals wearing shorts and sleeveless tops, at least the women at Hooters have appropriate t-shirts on!

You are exaggerating. It doesn't say in the article that he was suspended. Right now, he is just being "scrutinized".

timesunion:

Rutnik added that she doesn’t want to take away from the team’s accomplishments, but “as a female superintendent I took this very seriously and addressed it immediately with the students and the individual.”

She would not say if White will continue to coach.

Let's flip the script for a thought experiment.

Same situation, except the restaurant is named "Banana Slings." All the servers/hosts are dressed in speedos and are shirtless. Coach is gay.

Still appropriate?

If not, why does the gender of the servers and/or sexual orientation of the coach change your opinion?

Hardly trashy & low class. Have you ever stepped in a Hooters bar & grill?

I have not seen a Hooter's where the servers dress like your description. Do you think all of the servers at Olive Garden or Buffalo Wold Wings are straight? Why make a twist on the sexual orientation of the coach or the servers?

This has nothing to do with politics.

No, toxic is your notion that "Objectification of the female body, which dehumanizes females, is what Hooters is all about."

I disagree and think it's really disrespectful and insulting towards all the women who choose to work at Hooters.

Dammit. My apologies: normally in order to run a thought experiment your audience is required to have the ability to actually think. My mistake for making that assumption.
