Have you heard of the bus boycotts cause this was the start of it. So does that mean that they decided to take their ball and go home cause they refused to ride a bus?
my original comment about Rosa parks was that we were talking about people being chicken for making statements about racial intolerance
This coaches stand drives home a point that just sticking around and finishing a game may never have. People are talking about racism perhaps the end result of his actions are bigger than the poor lesson that you felt the kids had recieved from this experience.
