I agree with most of what you wrote, but there is a line. Should he lose his career forever? Not in my opinion. Was this a bad hire? Meyer probably should have seen this coming.

I got told by a coach if I didn't shape up, I was going to have to go back to the trailer park and work 12 hour days in a factory after I graduated. I have never lived in a trailer park. I grew up in a middle class family in a rural area, but we had a nice house and both my parents had decent jobs. I never took what the coach said as offensive, it was just a way to motivate kids to be better. It was a different time back then. People had thicker skin and weren't so ultra sensitive. We had to work for everything we got. Nowadays, kids of all races, just want things handed to them without facing any adversity.
