Hank LedgerAn Oregon high school football coach has been fired after an onside kick the New York Post calls ruthless.
Hank LedgerThe school says in a statement that a change in leadership was necessary to reflect the school's mission and values.
Vera BullockI love that for the school, Hank. They looked at a kick and saw a chance to model gentleness for the children.
Hank LedgerIt was a kick, Vera. In a football game.
Vera BullockAn onside kick, yes, which is basically asking the other team for the ball back without saying please. Very forward.
Hank LedgerRuthless.
Vera BullockThe mission and values are clearly about letting the other team feel seen.
Vera BullockYou can't put a number on that, except the one on the scoreboard, which they'd rather you didn't.
Hank LedgerSo the winning team should have apologized to the losing team's kicker, and maybe sent a fruit basket.
Vera BullockA fruit basket, a handwritten card, and a punt, Hank. That's what leadership looks like.
Hank LedgerAnd if the next coach goes for two points?
Vera BullockA hug.
