Coaches wearing suits is a slap to the face for the players/fans

[DonkeyJote]

Nolan might wear them for the right reasons, but Del Rio does it so he will get his mug on SportsCenter and everyone will look at him. He is the most egotistical coach in the game.

thats exactly what i am talking about. everyone with the comment like if you are not wearing suits then your dressing up like a hobo. how did you come up with that idea? suits are for professionalism, who made suits stand for professionalism? again we are talking football here where their is no need for professionalism or sophisticated work, just call you some plays and hopefully win the game so what is a coach's desire to wear a suit? you should dress what makes you comfortable and if it's a suit, all the power to you but why must a suit be the mainstream idea of professionalism? you wear a suit during your job interview, and then what? after the interview your wearing the company's shirt, a name tag, and some slacks or khaki pants so why wear the suit in the first place?

Not everyone has to wear 2X long tees and large jeans to show that they don't care, but maybe one should care about their appearance, because it is what people see and react to first. Grow up youngin's and if your an adult set a positive example to these confused youngin's.

There are two people saying that, not many.

Move with the times, man. The only reason to wear a suit nowadays is to just try and show off and be selfish. That's all there is to it.

so what about basketball?

That's cool. Just remember the double cheeseburger is on the $1 value menu. Don't overcharge people and you'll go far,plus you'll be comfortable.
