Massachusetts Girls Soccer Coach Resigns Over Hilarious, Possibly Insane Email
We have to admit, this his really freaking funny. Naming a soccer team for 6-7 year old girls ‘Green Death’ is as brilliant as it is tragic.
The whole thing is great, so read the whole article.
If George Patton had coached a girls soccer team, he probably would have run things this way; only without so many references to red meat. Meet Michael Kinahan, ex-coach of the Scituate, Mass. Green Death. Kinahan resigned as the coach of the 6- and 7-year-old girls team (not pictured) before the season even started, due to a hilarious and possibly insane email sent to parents as a way to introduce himself. Rather than try to explain it, let’s get right to the fun. This portion of the letter is aimed at the sideline behavior of the parents, and is possibly my favorite part:
It is imperative that we all fight the good fight, get involved now and resist the urge to become sweat-xedo-wearing yuppies who sit on the sidelines in their LL Bean chairs sipping mocha-latte-half-caf-chinos while discussing reality TV and home decorating with other feeble-minded folks. I want to hear cheering, I want to hear encouragement, I want to get the team pumped up at each and every game and know they are playing for something.
