Was this intentional or a slip?

Muck;2167964; said:Regarding the showering issue.
I'd be willing to bet just about all of us took HS Gym (what with it being a requirement and all). Does anyone ever recall any adult school staff members hopping into the showers at the same time as students?
More importantly I am sure there is a large percentage of individuals on this board who participated in HS athletics and a smaller (but significant) number that played at the college level.
Do any of you recall any coaches sharing the showers with athletes?
In my case I specifically recall that not only did my HS wrestling coaches wait until after the wrestlers were finished and leaving the locker room before they would take a shower but that they would keep the blinds on the coaches room/office closed while we were changing/showering.
In HS football the locker room/shower was separate from the meeting, training & coaches room. The coaches did not regularly come into the locker area at all after practice, let alone the showers.
At the college level the coaches had a separate shower stall attached to their office/break area, not once did they ever come into the players showers.
When I coached wrestling at the HS level neither I nor any other coach ever showered with the wrestlers.
This was in the late 80's early 90's and even at that point at time I definitely reremeber coaches showering with HS & college aged athletes was considered inappropriate...let alone random young children who were not affiliated with the team.
Not only did coaches not shower with players they intentionally distanced themselves from the area when players were in a state of undress specifically to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.

I can no longer tell if these people are disgusting monsters that only care about Sandusky getting off (no pun intended) to clear Dear Leader's name...or, is central Pennsylvania seriously so [censored]ing inbred and backwards that they honestly don't see a problem with any of this. I'm not entirely sure which makes me hate them more. At this point, I'd like to see the entire region napalmed.
If you're against that idea, maybe at least administer doses of radiation sufficient enough to prevent reproduction.
Subhuman, inbred, mutant, pigs.

Steve19;2168035; said:Coaches, no. Principal, yes. In my sophomore year at high school, the principal made a habit of coming into the locker room to "congratulate the team". When you consider that my high school team had the distinction of not winning a game in the City League for nearly two years, it gets tough to determine what he was congratulating. Sometimes he positioned himself within sight of the showers. Other times, he seemed to be trying very hard to avoid any hint of seeing the players when they were undressed.
Was he just an old man that was a nice guy trying to motivate a team that was quite pathetic or a pervert? I thought he was the former and I don't think that he ever got within a yard of anyone without clothes on and certainly he never showered with the team. Other kids thought that he was pretty creepy and made lots of jokes about it.
When our fathers caught wind of the jokes, they had a quick chat with one of the coaches. The principal never entered the locker room again.

IgnoreRe: You didn't need to source an article from 1999...ReplyYep, I've repeated myself 100 times. You need to look at these events as if it were 1995-1999, not 2012. Some very self righteous, "i would have reported him to police" people just can't get that through their heads.
Muck;2168077; said:It's certainly a possibility but I don't believe it. The sudden explosion of Penn St. defenders stating "men & boys are in the shower together at the same time at the YMCA" isn't a coincidence.
Someone intentionally primed the pump with that line of reasoning.
AKAK;2168093; said:well, this is one of those "the more I think about it" responses....
Doesn't matter much, they weren't at the YMCA.
Well, I guess, they weren't.
And I think here's where I need maybe a little bit of a primer/recap/explanation (not from you Muck, just in general)
Why in God's name were all these kids around in the first place?
What I was insinuating is that it is very plausible that someone close to the defense set that line loose into the world with the hope that enough 'believers' would pick up on it that it would make it's way into the public conscience.
So, yeah, if the want to "prime the pump with that line of reasoning" it seems to make it more weird to me.
