You think US Sport coaches are tough?
Saw this yesterday on SI.COM
Ever wonder why the Romanian women's gymnastics team is so dominant every Olympics? It might have something to do with coaches who make Bill Parcells look like Mr. Rogers. Romania disbanded its entire women's national team on Tuesday after two gymnasts broke training to attend a birthday party at a nightclub. Forget making everyone run laps or do some extra backflips to pay for the transgressions of a few. Nope, let's nuke the whole program; that'll teach 'em. Presumably the team will be back next year with some new munchkins who will know better than to cross the line.

That would sure be a sweet deal. I think I'll go to my boss and tell her that, because the folks I manage broke a rule, I'm firing them all and not going to do any work for the next year. But please keep those paychecks a-comin', 'cuz I'll be back in 365 days. Aruba, here I come! |

What that SI snippet failed to mention is that the coaches have been under quite a bit of scrutiny for apparently Draconian training methods that are alleged to fall into the category of child abuse.
