I guess there are some uses for toxic masculinity.

Ditto for all those fires in the West.

So, the coach might have been thinking the kids would be safer if he went with them to make sure they didn’t go too far.

So far, since the kids ARE alive I’d say, if that is what the coach was thinking, then he did the right thing.

Maybe it was the coach who got all the kids to higher ground in the cave when the flooding started? Maybe, if the coach wasn’t there this would have become (knock on wood) a body recovery instead of a rescue?

But, truth be told, I’m not there, I don’t have all the information – so who am I to judge or call the coach an “idiot”?

Even so, I’d be willing to bet the coach feels real bad about getting those kids into such a dangerous situation.

Now, maybe you think that makes me a coward. But I wouldn’t have done it. I want to slap the man. Back handed. He got 12 boys killed. Being only 25 is no excuse. Or however old he was. No excuse.

That explains the kids. What about the idiot coach?

Some 25-year-olds are younger than others.
