Florida coach suspended for doing the right thing

Only in America. You know the kid was really homeless, because they reinstated the coach.
So now just because he did the right thing the kid and the school gets punished.
I can't even begin to imagine how humiliating this whole thing is for that kid. Having his life published and being punished just because he's homeless.


By all indications, a Florida high school football coach was just trying to do the right thing when he allowed a homeless player to live with him. Now that coach and his school are facing fines that could reach into the thousands of dollars -- and potential forfeiture of victories -- because of the player's housing arrangements.
