Two wrongs never make a right. And neither wrong should be ignored because one is slightly less egregious than the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwgarrett20 28 Report Share Posted April 22 The video I posted is full of 18, 19, and 20 year old boys. Not "grown men". Has Gobble had a history of doing things like that with players that aren't his son? Him grabbing his son by his jersey and getting into his face for acting like a jackwagon isn't like the Woody Hayes incident, or the incident at Ridgeview last year. There was no violence whatsoever in the video of Gobble. Ryan4VT and VFL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appropriate behavior for public school employees when dealing with public school students, whether those students belong to them or not, is something that is clearly defined by state law within the public school ecosystem. Kevin Clifford was fired instantly from Patrick Henry - Roanoke more than 20 years ago for grabbing a football player in a similar fashion. 1 hour ago, jwgarrett20 said: Has Gobble had a history of doing things like that with players that aren't his son? Does a drunk driver get a pass when he crashes into a family of four because he's never crashed into anyone before? Maybe a better analogy, would the Algebra teacher be forgiven after grabbing a student by the chest, screaming in that students face, shaking them, and slap punch them in the back as they shove that student down the hallway? Why should rules differ because one is in a classroom setting while the other is on an athletic field? Rules are in place to handle these situations and shouldn't be ignored based on who the child/victim was or who the aggressor was. As I stated above, two wrongs never make a right!!! I'm not going to advocate on a meaningless message board for someone losing his job . But if I were a member of that community, I would be questioning those elected to govern the public school system in Bristol pretty hard.

You're right, a better analogy was the one with the Algebra teacher because using the drunk driving analogy was absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, physical abuse of a child is far less egregious than driving drunk. What was I thinking? /s I'll say it again because you seem to be pretty dense. Two wrongs don't make a right!!! Whataboutism has no place in the discussion of child abuse. By the way, justifying the physical abuse of a 15 year old kid based on something that happened in a college basketball game 32 years ago is pretty absurd!

Stelley 57 Report Share Posted April 24 Turns out gobble does not have a 6 game suspension. Heard that he apparently just “took a leave of absence” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was put on administrative leave while they did an internal investigation and spoke to all parties. He was reinstated on Monday of this week, missing a district game and a weekend tournament in the process. vicobras 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
