As a resident of Brick Township, it is a pleasure to receive a paper with local news. However, I find it disturbing to read in one edition where a local has been arrested and then several weeks later you are quoting him and appear to be praising him as a Pop Warner coach.
Are these coaches not somewhat of a role model for our children? This coach, who happens to have been the township’s all-star team baseball coach as well, was arrested (Oct. 9) at the football field.
How can the parents and the Pop Warner Board of Trustees continue to allow this member to continue his role? Are they not concerned with the message they are sending to these children?
I’m glad I had the foresight to remove my children from Pop Warner two years ago. It seems that winning is far more important than the old rule "It’s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game." I guess it’s true, times have changed.
