Soccer club fires coach for calling Greta Thunberg a 'whore' and the 'right age to take a pounding'



“This whore! A 16-year-old can take a pounding, she’s at the right age!” Tommaso Casalini, a former assistant Coach of Grosseto’s Giovanissimi A team, wrote in a post earlier this week. Grosseto immediately removed Casalini as a coach saying in a statement that the trainer was fired for “not acting in line with the club, who focus on moral values ​​even more than technical values​," according to Football-Italia.

After Thunberg's riveting speech at the United Nations Climate Action Summit last month, the teen has had to face criticism from conservative leaders and religious figures. On September 25, she took on her haters, accusing them of distracting people from the environmental crisis plaguing the world today.

 "The haters are as active as ever — going after me, my looks, my clothes, my behavior, and my differences. They come up with every thinkable lie and conspiracy theory," she wrote in a string of tweets. "It seems they will cross every possible line to avert the focus since they are so desperate not to talk about the climate and ecological crisis. Being different is not an illness and the current, best available science is not opinions — it's facts."

She added: "I honestly don't understand why adults would choose to spend their time mocking and threatening teenagers and children for promoting science when they could do something good instead."

Calling her a whore and then threaten rape on a very young woman that only wants to make this planet safe for each and every one of us, it is so unbelievable. Why does this ass feel so threatened by this young woman.

He deserves a lot more than losing his job.

I just can't take this all in.

Find out exactly what it was that made him this toxic, and try to figure out a prevention program for all parents to follow.

Unless, of course, his parents think he turned out just fine. Then, there is a real problem.

They feel they have to put them in "their place" which is beneath them in value . Will they ever learn their attitude of entitlement and arrogance makes them not only look weak and stupid but like cowardly bullies too?

But claims in his apology that he didn't realize he was attacking a minor. Biggest apology fail ever.
