“Frustrated by the team’s 3-0 loss to Penn State, she berated her players one-by-one, leaning in to yell in their faces. This (expletive) sucks, she told them. We suck. It didn’t matter how much they prayed to win: God doesn’t care if we win or lose, she said. He has bigger things to worry about.”

People are scandalized by the obscene post-game meltdown of Indiana University’s softball coach; but UD is much more scandalized by her very public dark-night-of-the-diamond moment, in which her rock-hard faith (shared with virtually all university coaches) that God takes a personal interest in the games she coaches suddenly collapses into skepticism.

God. Doesn’t. Care??????

    Out of the mouths of the overwrought. . . .

    Also, it strikes me as a bit fishy that, with all the bad behavior by coaches out there, a female coach (of a women’s team) ends up undergoing a serious investigation for what was, after all, a purely verbal explosion. Double standard, anyone?

    God: She’s right, though. All I care about right now is what’s going to happen to Walt in ‘Breaking Bad.’
