No Shirt No Service: High School Coach Jobless After His Boys Track Team Goes Topless

http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/dail...rack-team-goes-

Firstly what kind of girls are these that get freaked out at seeing a boy with a shirt off? They've never been to a beach or a pool before???

Secondly, for the adults involved (save the Coach) just really poor judgment and a bad example of how to handle what is actually a minor situation.

Whatever happened to shirts vs. skins scrimmage games? Also, both the high school and college track teams jog around town, frequently without a shirt. That includes girls (who usually wear a sports bra or something similar).

Those girls would have hated my school then. When the weather turned warm and the gym activities were taken outside, the boys went topless more times than they had shirts on.

I can't remember a single girl complaining about it. If anything, our reactions were more like "ooh, eye-candy!"

If a girl had complained, and the boys were made to keep their shirts on after that, I can guarantee that the girl in question would have become a pariah among the other girls in class.

I hope Davis is able to find a job at another school, one where they don't have their heads up their asses. It's not his fault one of the students decided to take his shirt off. What was Davis supposed to do? Super-glue the shirt to him?

It sounds like the athletic director had something against the coach. If anyone should be getting fired, it's the director for blowing his top over something so minor and out of the coaches control.

There HAS to be more to this firing. It's just too incredibly stupid all-around otherwise.

Probably this. I used to run with my shirt off all the time when I played football in high school. So did a lot of the other guys on hot days. Just sounds like the athletic director is too big of a sissy to actually fire him for a real reason.

Shoot, seeing the guys run around without their shirts on was the only reason I went to gym.

See, at my first high school, only the boys were allowed to dress "sexy" in gym class.

If we girls so much as wore sleeveless shirts for outdoor games or dared put on sunscreen, we were screamed at.

Edit, better elaborate.

Springtime, 2003. I was a sophomore. Anywho, in our gym class, we were doing outdoor type sports, since it was April/May. The boys were doing baseball, the girls were doing volleyball. It was quite a warm spring, and the boys were frequently playing shirtless.

It got so warm, we ladies started bringing tank tops and wearing shorts for class, and brought sunscreen because it was afternoon and because of the sun and of course, being Wisconsin, we're all practically skin type 1-2 fair peoples.

Our male gym teacher about had a stroke when he saw us putting on sunscreen in tanktops, and told us we were not allowed to wear sleeveless shirts in his class, because we were being distracting to the boys and to anyone passing by on the street.

We yelled about the boys being able to be shirtless. He said "Well, I can't stop them from doing that!"....to "Ok, I will ask them to put their shirts back on".....to nope, they weren't going to wear their shirts, and he didn't even care.

That reaction says more about your male gym teacher than it does about you and the other girls.

There's nothing innately sexual about putting on sunscreen. It's disturbing that he found it so seductive that he freaked out.

Right there, that's when you take your shirt off and tell him "Ok, not wearing a sleveless top"

WEellllllll techniquely if they had a regualr bra or sprots bra on that would still be sleeveless and said gym teacher would have fainted away dead at that point.
