Yano What I Mean?: I Used to Respect Him...

I Used to Respect Him...

You know, you'd think someone who coached for Northwestern would have more brains than to say such a stupid comment as this, after Katie Hnida, the first woman to play for the University of Colorado's football team came forward to say that she was raped by a fellow team member:

Coach Barnett issued a statement saying he knew nothing about the rape but later when trying to explain why Hnida had been harassed said she was an awful player who was not respected by team members.

"You know what guys do, they respect your ability. Katie was a girl, and not only was she a girl, she was terrible. She couldn't kick the ball through the uprights," he said.

You know, I really liked him when he coached Northwestern. Now, eh, well, JERK. Sure, maybe that's what he's thinking, but think before you make a statement like that to the press. What, since she wasn't respected she was raped?

First Kobe now this...Is there someone out there in the Colorado water?

I read the linked article--I like that the Univ. pres. is a woman--maybe she will fire that coach--what a jerk--the U of CO sounds like a dangerous place for women...

I'm glad to see he has been put on administrative leave now. I wonder if he has any daughters?
