You know what's a fantastic team building idea? A post season diner at a nice restaurant. You know what's a terrible team building idea for a bunch of middle school football players? A post season diner at Hooters. Take it away deadspin:
Corbett Middle School's football team in Oregon just finished their season, so you know what that means: awards dinner. Head Coach Randall Burbach knew precisely what would make this awards dinner unforgettable. Boobs. Ass. Chicken. Socks.
Burbach tried to schedule a dinner for his squad at nearby Jantzen Beach Hooters. The coach says he chose Hooters not for nineteen-year-old waitresses with bodies yet unmarred by time or alcohol, but for the pleasant experiences his own kids had there when they were preteens. He was so sure of this that he took the plan to the school athletic director, because middle schools need athletic directors. The AD, JP Sougnalet, shot it down.
My favorite part about this story is that the coach wouldn't yield to the AD and he got fired. He said he was teaching the kids about a lesson in standing up for what you believe in. And when what you believe in involves short shorts and tight tank tops who am I to argue?
