ASU Announces New Football Coach | KUAR
“We will be the most violent, physical football team in the Sun Belt. Now, that doesn't happen over night. I told the guys when I met with them, you will work harder in this program than you have ever been asked to work in your life but you will also reap bigger rewards than you've ever reaped. But it's all about work. We will be violent, we will blow people up. We will stop the run and we will run the ball,” said Anderson. (December 13, 2013)So said the new football coach.
Whipping up the crowd of supporters is one of the items in the job description of a football coach. Whipping up a desire for violence in collegiate athletics should not be in the job description. Violence is the primary cause of increased injuries to student athletes, the cause of life-long physical and mental problems and even death.
The university made no statement and issued no reprimand. Violence in athletics must be official policy. Shame.
[I wonder if he might have been thinking about the RNC]
