I agree that this would have been awesome if it was for more that 1 day. As is, the coach didn't really teach anyone anything.

"We felt like we needed to make a stand."

Yep. You sure showed them. Wait. No you didn't. They'll be bullying again before the week is out.

This story could easily be turned into something bigger by Hollywood, though.

In a place as Mormon as that, I'm sure that there could have been a bit more to the threat in the suspension.. Of course the players interviewed are singing the praises of being "reformed" but we'll see how long that gak really lasts.

I'm glad that the Coach took a stand, but I do wish it had been for more than just a day. Time will tell if it was enough though.
