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.

You sound like one of those overly sensitive people that I was talking about.

What an elegant surrender, Boomer.

A. Surrender? I stand by everything I said. 
B. I'm not a Boomer. Boomer's are people between the age of 57-75. I'm a Gen X'er. Your lack of knowledge to that just shows how our educational system and parents of your generation have failed those in your presumptive age bracket. I'm guessing you're a teenager, because I've only heard my 14 year old autistic nephew use the term "Boomer" as an insult.
