ripken4148 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I have never seen such bad sportsmanship as I did today at the Circle City Classic from Franklin Central. What made it worse was that the coaches didn’t seem to be worried about how their team was acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Slaymon, There are numerous things that may lead to what is perceived as poor, or lack of, sportsmanship. If I'm not mistaken, which I'm not, we have on video fans from a school sharing your colors calling one of our African American athletes a N***r. I would assume that issues would arise from there. Any poor behavior on my athletes part is dealt with by the coaching staff and team. How and when those issues are dealt with are none of your concern. If there is any issue with sportsmanship, you should take that up with the IHSAA. My only goal is to raise and teach these young men how to deal with adversity and one day be the future leaders in our society. Thanks for any concerns, Coach Moore FC Head Coach sslaymon and Kyle Ayersman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I wasn't at Circle City Classic, I was the tournament director at the Brownsburg JV Invite today where Franklin Central had a good group of young JV kids. I can say Franklin Central's boys were respectful, well disciplined, and well coached team. Your comment doesn't seem to align with what I've seen first hand from the FC squad and coaching staff.

Kevdog Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) I was at Circle City Classic and Franklin Central’s sportsmanship was horrible across the board. The coaches did nothing!

ripken4148 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Coach Moore, I do not know why you would direct your comment to Coach Slaymon?? To assume he was the one to make this post is completely wrong. I can assure you that it was NOT a GREENWOOD wrestler or parent that made the alleged comment. You do know that Greenwood and Westfields colors are similar, correct? But the way your wrestlers handled everything does not align with sportsmanship. Just look at how Geno wrestled in the championship match and afterwards all the kids laughing. Coach Moore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep my athletes, who are children, names out of your mouth. ripken4148 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanPride Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I was appalled at the way the Franklin Central wrestles behaved. The coaching staff did nothing but encouraged it. It was flat out embarrassing and disrespectful to this great sport! ripken4148 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but been around a long time and seen a lot through all age groups and talent levels, so yes, my comment may not be valid to you, but it is to others. Simply going on a forum and spewing hate is not very prideful as your username would suggest, perhaps you should change your username.

AmericanPride Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 My favorite moment was when Misconi smacked the ref on his butt then later smacked Warren on his butt and the coach just walks to the table laughing. Not really sure why an athlete would touch the refs butt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
