High School Football Team Gets suspended entire team — all 80 of them

Good morning,
       I a few moments ago I was thinking how lovely this day is.  It is nice and cool outside, the birds are singing, cats are following me to the bus stop..   Yes, I walk my daughter to the bus stop in the mornings and I just arrived back home,  poured myself some coffee and sat down and logged into facebook where I see this post..  "High School Football Coach’s Radical Punishment for Entire Team Gets Surprise Reaction From Parents".   Right away it got my attention..  
     I want to talk about this for a few..   "(e.g., bad attitudes toward teachers, skipping classes, failing grades, and a serious allegation of cyberbullying)" ...    First off..  I want to say that I am in high respects for coach Matt Labrum, head football coach at Union High School in Roosevelt, Utah,  ( and his fellow coaches ).  I hope if this is going on in other schools that other coaches follow suite. 
     I do not know the coaches, I do not know the team members, in fact I do not know anyone that even lives in the town so for me this isn't as personal as those who live there.  But, bullying is something that is personal for a lot of people.  It is something that needs to be addressed.  It happens a lot, more than some parents know about. 
     I think Mr. Labrum deserves coach of the year.  No only did he disapprove the football players disrespecting his fellow co-workers, the teachers.  He also disapproved the disrespect of other students, ( that were being bullied ) and did something to correct the issue.  He believes in this team as a whole. 

     Way to go coach....   and for the team members that were not causing the issues with your team mates,...  Respect goes out to you as well..  

Hope you all have a peaceful day..
