Ahh, yet another tale of cum guzzling asshatted teens and their parents

The BBQ Pit
1

The story was in the NYTimes on Friday.

It’s been a tradition for the Massapequa High School varsity baseball team to spend spring break in Cocoa Beach, Fl, playing baseball up to 12 hours a day.
But this year, instead of spending their free time on the beach or at a pizza shop, at least 15 players spent a considerable amount of time at Sassy Merlot’s, which is a strip club. And they didn’t just visit once, more like three times.

The 15 players violated the district code of conduct and the athletic code of conduct, therefore they were suspended from the team.

Now, back when I was in high school, the parents would probably have been really pissed off at the players who broke the rules.

But, now, in the 21st century, apparently no one has to take personal responsibility for their actions, and more importantly, they feel that even if they did break or violate the rules that they don’t have to face the consequences.

That’s pretty much the attitude of of students and parents. Parents said that they feared students would lose valuable athletic scholarships.

What is outrageous to me is how students seemed to think the strip club visits were no big deal.

"Seventeen-year old guys do it all the time," said Desiree Nelson, 16 discussing the matter with her friend Eileen Schelderfer. "They’re always at strip clubs. It’s not like an abnormal thing." In fact, Ms. Nelson described the strip club outing as a well-known component of the baseball team’s spring break trip. *"They’d just come back and be like, * ‘We went to an awesome strip club in Florida. It was so much fun.’

Nicholas DeLuca, 17, who was on the baseball team last year, enjoyed the previous trip to florida, which included a visit to Sassy Merlot’s. “What could be so bad about a bunch of girls walking around with no shirts on?”

Some students seemed puzzled that the incident had attracted scruntiny from members of the news media, who lingered outside the school throughout the day. “We don’t do stories on like when dirty old men go to strip clubs,” said Jillian Communiello, 16, a junior.

This should blow my mind, but sadly it doesn’t.

Just yet another example of the outrageous sense of entitlement that teenagers have today, and along with that, the lack of any sort of moral values that they shhow off proudly with no sense of embarassment or shame.

Of course, the lawsuit brought by the parents while no doubt be forthcoming quite soon.

It doesn’t speak very well or say much for the parents when they are more outraged that their precious Sal or Nicholas might lose am athletic scholarship, because he broke the rules and was rightfully punished, then they are about the fact that their spoiled brat teenagers broke the rules in the first place.

And the stupidity of the students comments is laughable, especially Jillian Communiello’s remark that the media, "…don’t do stories on like when dirty old men go to strip clubs."

Gee, why might that be?

Because it isn’t illegal for men (which classifies one as an adult) to go to strip clubs, while it is definitely illegal for a 16 year old to go to one.

Fuckin’ A.

The mothers of all these kids should have swallowed instead of spreading their legs.

Well, it’s illegal alright. But if a 16 or 17 year old has the desire to look at nekkid women, this constitutes “the lack of any sort of moral values”?

Fuckin’ A indeed. I was one hell of an immoral 16 year old, I’ll tell you that.

3

Young men want to see naked women? This is as shocking as underage drinking!

4

God forbid a teenager sees naked breasts…

Sweet Christ, what is so wrong with nudity that it gets this type of reaction?

5

FWIW, I cannot recall seeing a ‘strip club’ in Croatia. If you really wanted to see some breasts, you either turn on the TV or go to the beach…

I’m shocked…shocked to find there’s gambling going on in here!

7

It’s normal to go to strip clubs at 17? I wish they’d have let me in!

8

Your winnings, sir!

9

Tell that to almost and former Alabama head coach Mike Price.

10

Student jocks feeling entitled to getting away with whatever they like? Wow, that’s never happened before! Gimme a break.

If the parents feel the same way, then that is outrageous.

Somebody got a linky-poo to the story?

I think it’s unreasonable to take away these children’s chances to get a post-secondary education because they went to a strip club. There is nothing “rightful” about that. We don’t know the financial situation of these kids and their families, but if they need those scholarships to get their degrees, it is cruel to jeopardize their futures because they made one mistake. I’m not saying that they shouldn’t be penalized, because they should, but forcing them to disqualify themselves from their scholarships is too extreme, especially if they can’t go to University like them.
Note: IANA American, but in Canada, a Uni degree is pretty much essential to ever earning a living wage (YMMV), and costs an arm and a leg. Dunno how important/expensive Uni degrees are in the States, so I may be blowing this out of proportion.

12

…can’t go to University without them. :smack:

Where the feck was my head when I was typing?

13

They got in trouble not just because they went somewhere they could see naked breasts, but because they went some place where alcohol was served. They probably had fake ID’s to do this, which means it’s possible they could also be going into bars regularly. Just my theory.

I agree, it’s crappy that the parent’s aren’t reading their precious jocky wockys the riot act. I think it’s outrageous that teens seem to think they are entitled to these things, even though they are illegal. I see plenty of amoral behavior in this town, and it disturbs me.

I hear plenty more from someone I know, who works with middle school age kids. (They should be from about 11 to 13 or so, but there are 16 year olds in middle school in this town! They told my friend that it’s a family tradition to marry their first cousins, that they go out of state to do it! Inbredding, shudder.)

What I don’t quite get is why people who hear about these things don’t speak out anymore, they just shrug their collective shoulders, and say things like “You expected differently?”. I don’t get that.

You who do this are giving the parent’s license to keep encouraging their kids, and these teens will likely be parent’s one day, if they aren’t already. They will “kick it up a notch” when they become parents. Shudder I’m going to shut up now, I just really scared myself.

lola, in the US, unless one is an entertainer, born into extreme wealth, a graduate of a vocational school, or works a menial job, a college degree is pretty much required. They can run anywhere from $2,000-$40,000, depending on the caliber of the school you attend and where you live (scholarships not included).

15

Here we go. And here. Also here.

Hmm, it seems that a parent :eek: took several of the boys to the strip club as well as bought alcohol for them.

I hope this parent sees the inside of a jail.

The only other parent quoted seems to be complaining that his kid, who apparently did nothing wrong, is being punished because the baseball season is not being held. Good point that, but it doesn’t sound avoidable.

OK, so we have 15 kids suspended, two coaches suspended. I bet at least one of the coaches get fired eventually. No word on what’s going to happen to that scumbag parent. But sounds like a lot of folks are getting punished. So what’s the problem?

So where are the comments of the parents defending this behaviour? Nevermind what the kids say, kids say a lot of stupid crap. I don’t see one comment in those stories defending the incident.

16

That would be $2,000-$40,000 per year.

17

At the same time, these kids are old enough to understand the rules, and follow them. They know the penalties for what they do, and they do it anyway, because they feel they are “entitled”. They have never been held accountable before, they don’t believe they even should be now. I don’t feel pity for them. They knew they were breaking the rules, and what they could lose. Let them take some lumps now, maybe they will learn to follow the rules that everyone else has to, and won’t end up in prison later on in life.

18

So what the hell does cum guzzling have to do with any of this?

19

What the hell is wrong with young athletes? And what other high-school group is it acceptable to mock, Zabali_Clawbane? Those frootloops in band? Those annoying drama-club kids?

I am going to take a wild guess and say that you participated in few, if any, highschool sports. Your loss. But why the unholy fuck would you hold it against those who do?

20

Contrary to what you theorize Brutus, I did in fact participate in sposts, track, basketball, volleyball, and cross country. I always got A’s in physical education, and got the President’s fitness award every year. All of this, on top of the fact that I was diagnosed with Rhuemathoid arthritis when I was nine. (Full diagnosis, Polyarticular Juvenile Rheumathoid Arthritis.) A cross country season lasts 4 months, and coach logged every mile we ran. My last season I ran 589 miles, working out 5 days a week, twice on Mondays.

FTR, I also was a choir frootloop, and a weird art student, and a newspaper copy editor geek, and a drama “queen”.

I did not think the world owed me a damn thing, even though our cross country team took top honors for our size bracket at state level competition every year.

I was expressing my contempt at the parents who hand athletes anything they want on a silver platter, just because they can kick a ball, or tackle hard. They should be rewarding good grades, and good citizenship.

Seems like I struck another of your poor frail nerves there Brute. Tsk tsk, you ought to work out to prevent that. :dubious: :rolleyes:
