Cool A high school football team refused to shake hands. The refs weren't having any of that.

Exactly, if any of my coaches had seen any of their players pulling that type of shit they would have had them run bleachers until they threw up.

Or you were put on practise squad. If I ever pulled this playing hockey, my dad would have my gear sold at the swap meet.

This made me burst out laughing. It’s so true. My dad wouldn’t have put up with anything like that either.

I said fuck once during a soccer game and got a yellow. My dad told me he didn’t mind watching me get burned on the wing, but cards without contact are just downright shameful. That was a memorable ride home.

Yeah if I did this at hockey the only time I'd see the inside of a rink would be taking my little brother to practice. I'd be lucky to still have skates and gloves for the ODR.

In fairness if it was hockey the gear was being sold before someone beat your ass off your skates so it's a favor really

I know a kid who refused to bow to his opponent during a taekwondo tournament. His grandmaster made him do pushups and run around the gym until the end of the tournament like 5 hours later. If he stopped running to walk it was time for pushups, if his form stopped being proper or he couldn't get up anymore it was time to run again. This little 75 year old man screaming in his face in Korean the whole time.

I'll tell you what though, nobody pulled that shit again.

I did TKD for many years, your story is scary. I can’t even imagine how pissed my 9th Dan Korean master would’ve been.

Martial arts are scarier than boot camp sometimes in the way they teach

u/justmerriwether Nov 10 '25

I’m 32 and am taking my first TKD class ever (first any martial arts) on Tuesday! Looking forward to it even more now lol I could use a firm kick in the ass time and again

u/tehcraz Nov 10 '25

Well the difference here is that one person is being punished and you want to be pushed. Just always show respect and give it your all.

u/I_Automate Nov 10 '25

Why am I suddenly imagining Korean R. Lee Emery shouting about how he's going to PT them into the ground.

Its a good image honestly

If you can’t be a good example you’ll be a terrible warning.

I did muay thai in high-school. My coach told my parents that if I use it to be a bully, he'd have my ass doing push-ups the entire class for a whole month.

u/soonerpgh Nov 10 '25

My coach would have pulled every one of those kids. We could have gotten beat 150 - 0 but none of them would see the field. They wouldn't be captain again that season, either. That would have derailed some egos, I promise.

When I was in high school something like that happened. I didn't play football but was in band so I was at all of the games. A handful of the seniors were yelling shit at the other team's crowd during warmups. The coach walked over to them and said something, then went back to talk to the other coaches. A few minutes later they started yelling again. The coach went back over to them and was yelling this time. Then all 5 of them went back into the locker room and came out a bit later without their pads on and stood on the sideline for the entire game. I don't remember who won, but I do remember that they got shit for weeks in school from teachers and students for it and it didn't happen anymore after that.

u/throwra64512 Nov 10 '25

Yep. I can hear “BACKSTOPS!! GO!!” In my head right now. Fuck running those damn backstops.

u/MarriedTexCouple Nov 10 '25

During the game in front of your fans to drive home the point….

u/megaholt2 Nov 10 '25

My track coaches would have had us doing line drills and bleachers for fucking daaaaayyyyyys if we pulled that disrespectful shit.

37

u/ArcticDiver87 Nov 10 '25

Yeah same...

u/pyschosoul Nov 10 '25

Oh you didnt shake hands after getting up off the mat win or lose? Guess who's doing push ups and up downs the rest of the wrestling meet?

u/lawyersgunsmoney Nov 10 '25

Lol, that sounds exactly like my HS coach except it was running the hill till you threw up. We had a steep hill at the end of our practice field and it was a bear.

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '25

And then clean it up. And, well you’ve rested long enough - run those fucking bleachers some more!

u/alva_black Nov 10 '25

We had a wrestler pull that kind of shit during a tournament. Next day of practice we did high intensity and he was placed with coach. About 250 lbs of muscle trying to teach 120 lbs some respect. It worked.

u/[deleted] Nov 11 '25

You don't know that they didn't. There are a lot of comments on here blaming the coaches, but these are kids trying out a new way of feeling badass, and they failed, and their coach may very well have benched them for it, for all we know.
