A public apology is definately in order...The coach was out of line. He may have thought it was all in fun but the focus of his joke was a child who was already in period of looking for acceptance and begining the long ugly road of keeping up appearances to look good...An award like this could lead some to drastic self-inflicting measures...Only bullies and smug folk would thik otherwise...Besides..he was the coach, everyone look up to the coach and he knows that...shameful...well hey...at least no one was sodomized
