"Aggressive" meaning idiotic.Pretty aggressive by lawyer Pena to suggest the plaintiff's motive for filing was due to his shortcomings as a wrestler, a still-in-high school kid. He might eventually regret that.
I say this without having read this complaint, but, having read many complaints, you often see "allegations" as reported in media as mere sentences in paragraphs that make less sense outside the context of the complaint. There are serious allegations here though, including recording the students naked, and the staff showing naked photos of themselves to students. And those allegations may also be explainable as someone's too-generous interpretation of "naked"--waist-up, for instance would be nothing different than what you see on students' Instagram accounts. I'll try to read complaint later when I have a chance so I can offer a less ignorant take."Aggressive" meaning idiotic.
Reading the article, some of the things they cited might be legit, but some of them are just laughable. A coach in meathead capital New Jersey calling you "shredded" is some kind of harassment or abuse? A coach saying he loves a guy is harassment or abuse?
They'd better have a lot more evidence than that.

I agree that the article/video mentions some things that could be innocuous (while others are unambiguously terrible). But Tikk is right, context can change everything. If a coach tells a kid he looks “shredded” after a grueling group weight training workout, that may be harmless. But if he approaches a kid privately and says the same thing while surveying the kid‘s body and letting his eyes linger on certain areas, that conveys a different intent completely.

I don't know the whole history, but that quote isn't the only reference to there being a history. The complaint references "Defendant Bell [having] a history of allowing [bullying and abuse]..." and mentions the removal of coach Joseph Trause and Bell allowing Trause back into the room after his removal."This is not the first time Coach Bell has been baselessly attacked and regrettably it's unlikely to be the last."
I kept going back to this comment that was made if defense of the coaches. I'm not sure what to make of the meaning or purpose.
A very small percentage of coaches around the country have been accused once and much less multiple times. Does this mean they are recruiting kids with a predisposition of making this up? I'm being somewhat facetious but why would someone just assume it's going to happen again in the future?

Probably not the best story, due to its sensitive content, to be pressing one's journalistic fingers on the scale with unsourced plaintiff-smearing innuendo. Write an actual story and get both sides on the record.He's definitely taking an odd angle for his "persona," he's not the blunt straight shooter like Willie so to see him be so dismissive and passive aggressive is intriguing to me.
For example:
Sometimes when you make your bed you just need to sleep in it. No college coach is going to touch this kid with a 10 ft pole
Doesn't want them to sue? You have got to be kidding me. I hope Bell and Spataro's lawyers are working overtime tonight.
Part of me wants to see Bergen let him wrestle but only home events with his parents banned from the gym.Doesn't want them to sue? You have got to be kidding me. I hope Bell and Spataro's lawyers are working overtime tonight.
A little OT, but what the hell is going on in Muncy tonight?

Looks like the team is testifying before the school board, pleading to retain Denny Harer. Team finished 4th at state duals, top 10 at the individual tourney, had a state champ, and the board is trying to fire him?
Same kind of BS has happened since the beginning of youth sports. One parent doesn't like something the coach said or did, then recruits another parent and it spirals out of control. The school board only hears the negative stuff, so if they're not tuned into the sport, that's all they have to go on.
Worst thing about youth sports is youth parents

It's the reason my father-in-law got out when he did, although he didn't let it get to the school board level. He just had enough of the parent harping at him and decided it wasn't worth it any more.

Seems plausible that the coach's intent was perfectly innocent and he's just this effusive guy who uses the word 'love' a bit too casually, but even assuming the most innocent intent it's easy to see why texts like that would screw with a 15-year old's head, and why he might hesitate to bring it up to anyone. Coach should have a better handle on boundaries and line-drawing.Creepy texts have come to the surface.

Creepy as hell. Inappropriate. Either the coach is an actual evil creep, or he is a creep by virtue of clueless social inappropriateness. Either way, I would not want my kid or any kid to interact with that person.Creepy texts have come to the surface.
