Amelia, for your tragedies I am sorry. Cancer is a terrible disease.
I have question one thing. Not one, but two coaches are accused of persecuting your son. I have read nothing that seems to indicate one of the assistant coaches from the program has stood up and defended your son's position. It is just a guess that you have never coached a team sport to understand the essence of a team bond. Kids working together to overcome a challenge. My next guess is that you weren't present in the locker room or at all of the practices to see his work effort and relationship with other players.
So I decided to look up your son's Facebook page. He just looks miserable playing his instrument in his profile picture. Not only have you failed your son, you have also failed society by wasting everyone's time with this frivolous lawsuit.
So I look back at some of these comments and am so disappointed in myself for missing Jonathan Tarantello's words of wisdom.
Dear John ~ life is about taking advantage of opportunities, dusting yourself off after you have been knocked down and earning your keep in life. I must say your comments in defense of this young man show your clear misunderstanding of the real world. "Now he is relegated to music as a backup because no one was able to scout his basketball skill". WTF is wrong with you? If the kid didn't earn his starting spot by the coach's standards, the he isn't a starter. Looks like he should've stepped up during practice and games. If you ask many coaches, if they have a rookie and a veteran at the same level, the rookie gets the time and veteran gets the pine.
You the arrogance to tell someone to go out and doing something successful like this man. Funny, from reading the article, he was a failure.
Amelia, you are clearly misguided and confused on the definition and spirit of the First Amendment. Your ignorance should be used as an example to young students studying Constitutional law. The First Amendment offers those in our great land the freedom of speach. It does NOT guarantee us freedom from prosecution for saying something stupid.
Fact - If I yell "fire" in a crowded theater I am going to jail.
Fact - If I make threats aimed at our chief executive I am going to jail.
Maybe it's time you step up as a parent, take the Silver Spoon out of your son's mouth and teach him to take responsibility for his actions and reinforce the harsh life lesson that there are consequences for your actions. Teach your boy that if he takes to social media stratosphere to complain about his employer that the real world will introduce him to the unemployment line, not another courtroom.
