First of all, I was not on his team. Second of all, I flipped him off because he insulted me. Thirdly, my dad threatened to whip his keyster because he and my father were not on good terms even before the incident. Fouthly, you missed the whole point of the story, which is that it is foolish to dwell on negative experiences we all had in school.
I didn’t miss the point, but you and your dad sound like you have anger issues. I don’t think coaches are obligated to put up with boorish behavior. Kids flipping adults off fits that category. I suspect you don’t tolerate that behavior now, as an adult.
