What a lead-in, right?
Well, let's say, as a hypothetical situation, that there was a school.
And it had a football coach. (Pictured: Mike Ditka.)
And said football coach was sending dirty pictures to a much younger woman's cell phone. (Pictured: dirty old man and trophy.)
And her parents got pissed when they found out, and complained to the school.
And the school fired him for "inappropriate behavior."
You'd think that was perfectly justified, right?
This is where attention to detail comes in handy.
See, the gentleman in question sent his photos cellphone to cellphone, so no school property was involved. (Pictured: Cellphone.)
Well, he was still wrong, despite that, right?
Well, the girl in question is his admitted girlfriend.
Yeah, but this is still...
Well, his girlfriend isn't one of his students.
But still, it's not...
Well, his girlfriend's 20.
*crickets*
(Pictured: cricket.)
See, the gentleman in question, who is 32, and dating a much younger woman, managed to piss off her parents, who went through her cell phone, extracted the pictures, and sent them through email to all and sundry in the school administration - and then tried to claim that his behavior - with their OF LEGAL AGE daughter, who is his admitted girlfriend and a consenting adult in her own right - was inappropriate because other people had seen the photos.
Whoa, there.
This is not a hoax; it is the story of , formerly the coach of Mandarin High School's football team in Jacksonville, Florida. No "Graduate" jokes, please! (Oops.) (Pictured: Mr. Robinson.)
It sounds bad, until you find out some details.
The clincher, however, is the fact that the girl in question is of age; SHE didn't complain against him, and she is a consenting adult.
I hereby call shenanigans. (Pictured: shenanigans.)
I know kids are returning home, and staying there longer, but folks, you have to face the unpleasant fact that once your kids hit the age of 18, you no longer have the legal right to browse through their private correspondence whenever the mood strikes you.
Mr. Robinson intends to sue everyone involved in spreading the pictures through email or slandering his name.
Good for him. I hope he gets the parents a good stiff fine.
And then uses the money to pay for his girlfriend to go to college, so she doesn't have to be a basement shut-in like everyone else seems to be these days. (Pictured: basement shut-in.)
