This would've been "water under the bridge" had Leach apologized for his actions.
Exactly. Once it came out, it had to be dealt with and from the sounds of things, Leach wanted nothing to do with smoothing things over or apologizing. I don't blame him for
feeling that way, but he's not an owner/operator of his own business, he works for Texas Tech, and when you work for someone, sometimes you have to do what you have to do to keep your job. (and it's not like they were asking him to do something ridiculous by asking him to apologize and work it out).
In the big picture, this whole things sucks. It's just another example of society going soft on us. Boo hoo, wussy football player got his feelings hurt. Would does the WWII generation think of what we've become? It's so embarrassing how we've sissified everything. You can't discipline your kids without CPS taking you to court. Schools can't spank kids anymore. You can't even play dodge-ball in school anymore. Why? Because some kids might get hit and be embarrassed.
What's next, coaches can't yell at kids? Can't make them run extra when they break rules? Why don't we just cancel football and make everyone play chess? If we have to get back into a huge, draft-type, manpower war, we're in trouble because too many kids have grown up under the "don't hurt my feelings" umbrella of today's "protective" government BS. Okay, that may be a stretch, but we are headed down cry-baby road and it won't be long before the wussies outnumber the men.
