An Illinois State football coach abruptly quit the team Thursday, leaving a note on the door while exiting the facility. Kurt Beathard, who was the Redbirds’ offensive coordinator, told The Pantagraph he let a note that said “All Lives Matter to Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ” before he left. Officials told the newspaper Wednesday he was no longer a part of the team and declined to comment on why he abruptly left. (Snip) Beathard’s departure came weeks after players had an issue with athletic director Larry Lyons using the phrase “All Redbird Lives Matter” in a video conference, according to the newspaper. Some student-athletes boycotted workouts because of it

Good for him for making that statement, but it would have been better to be fired.

These snowflake "student-athletes" should be told to build a bridge and get over it. Learn to live with differing opinions. Quit being a bully. Boycotting workouts because you don't like what a coach said? You should be kicked off the team. There's plenty of talent out there that appreciates the opportunity to play.

No, it’s better to make a statement and leave. Let the student (?) athletes figure out their own plays.

So someone put a sign on the coach's door expressing a point of view the coach could not endorse. So the coach took down the sign. That enraged the students and possibly others as well. When the coach was tired of taking grief over just TAKING DOWN A SIGN from his office door, the coach quit.
The coach didn't say or do anything demeaning to any student on the grounds of race or anything else. He took down a sign. He wasn't going to play their game because it wasn't the game he signed up for. He was a FOOTBALL coach, not a community organizer. His game was FOOTBALL, not racial politics.
This is a sad day indeed when someone feels like they need to quit their job because of other people's politics. It is disgusting. The coach is not a wimp. There was no need he should have to take the grief of the race mongers.

#5: based on the news every Monday wrt "the week's scores", I don't think the members of our most productive minority really care about each other...unless they can use some incident as an excuse to riot and loot.

The Coach was right to do what he did. Why would the AD comment about all Redbird lives matter be a problem? Someday soon, these brainwashed people are going to be so shocked when upon the return of Jesus, they find out that indeed ALL lives matter, not just the spoiled brat liberal ones.
#1, if the people you are with refuse to see reason on something so simple as the whole team matters, not just a select few, even Jesus instructed the apostles to shake the sand from their sandals as they left the cities who refused to listen.

So if it is 'approved' to say 'B-L-M', but one will be fired if they say All Lives Matter, I demand to know..... WHICH LIVES DO NOT MATTER!
All you B-L-M supporters, tell the rest of us...WHICH LIVES DO NOT MATTER!

BLM does not want equality; they demand subjugation.

I probably think more in terms of a medical person or medic - All Hearts Matter. . .

We are all God's children. Black, White, Red, Yellow and even those rainbow types. With blacks killing blacks at an all time high, are we afraid of running out of blacks?

It's too bad if any of the players were looking for a year of good stats to be draftable into the NFL.

"Gentile lives matter" might have gotten one a very hard time back in biblical times...

(that referring to where St. Paul proclaimed our equality in light of Jesus Christ, in whom we are all a new creation -- no more Jew or Greek, no more slave or free, no more man or woman.)
