A COMMUNITY APOSTATE IN THE CHURCH OF THE BLOODY SOCK: If you're wondering why Marshall Eriksen was coaching basketball in New York last night, it's because he was forced to resign from coaching soccer in Scituate, Massachusetts. Read, via Deadspin, the tale of Michael Kinahan, a slightly overeager (and obviously not serious) coach. He was very committed to his job as a Molder of Men, the men in this case being a bunch of soccer-playing six- and seven-year-old girls.

As for the forced resignation, I dissent. I love the idea of calling a youth team "Green Death," and I approve of the letter in principle (though I hope I would have written something funnier). Who, really, was protesting this?
