A long-tenured Catholic high school football coach in Massachusetts suddenly left his post after abusive and “vulgar” parents on the sideline became too much to take.
“The joy of coaching kind of gets ripped away from you,” said Kahn Chace, the former head coach of Cardinal Spellman High School in Brockton, said.
Chace — who coached Spellman for the last two of his career 19 seasons — called it quits following the team’s Thursday night, 34-3 loss to Bishop Fenwick of Peabody because of the foul-mouthed parents.“The game ended and as I was talking, addressing our team, you know, 20, 30 yards away behind a fence is a group of parents yelling at us and trying to embarrass us,” Chace
At times, the Spellman faithful took it so far that Chace said he needed people to escort him out from games or use a back exit for his own safety as well. This is anything but an isolated phenomenon for the schools around Beantown, according to the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association, which has had to tell parents to keep their cool for some seasons now.“We can never forget that when our coaches are coaching, they are doing this for the love of the sport and for what they are trying to do for young athletes,” MIAA’s Richard Pearson told WBZ station.
