Debate Coaches Show Kids How To Do It By Completely Losing Their Sh*t

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

In a March, a debate tournament in Wichita, Kansas was overrun by immature, obscene, loud, petty, and obnoxious people--  the coaches.

William Shanahan of Fort Hays University and Shanara Reid-Brinkley from University of Pittsburgh got into an extremely heated screaming fight over-- surprise, surprise-- race. But what's most ironic about all this is that Reid-Brinkley seemed to have set Shanahan off on his long and insane rampage by criticizing, of all things, the Fort Hays coach's body language.

This video had been online recently but had disappeared. We just found it in another YouTube posting, uncut and still ugly...

The Associated Press tried to get in touch with these fools for comment, but what's left to be said besides "why didn't someone tell these assholes to get the hell out?" We can't think of a better way to have resolved this than to get two people to carry them out, one taking the arms, the other the legs, and give the students the peace and quiet they needed to finish their competition in civilized peace.

Do we actually pay these idiots to educate our kids?  I expect to see this on the primary school playground, but not at a college event by supposedly educated adults.

I'm in a different college debate league (APDA, which mostly includes the ivies and northeast liberal arts colleges) which is entirely student run (this is NPDA, I assume, which involves professors and adult advisors) and I can honestly say that we never, ever have things like this happen.  Maybe they should get rid of the adult advisors?

Those poor kids.  That guy is ridiculous and insane, and I hope he is sent off to some cobwebby corner of the janitor's closet for the rest of his life.
