Fox's Eric Bolling: Firing of Rutgers coach 'wussification of American men'

Rutgers University basketball coach Mike Rice was fired today for hitting, kicking and verbally abusing his players during practices — a decision that has met with widespread praise from many commentators in the news media, who found his actions abhorrent.

Not so Fox News co-host Eric Bolling, who said the decision to fire Rice was evidence that American culture was in decline because of the "wussification of American men."

“We’re in the midst of political correctness crushing our ability to teach kinds, to discipline kids, to disagree with people or one another or kids,” Bolling said on today's edition of "The Five." “Our culture is in decline, and this is an example of our culture in free fall — and I’m saying this because he got fired, not because of what he did.”

I have to believe he only picks on people weaker than he is, and he is very weak

Sorry Fox assholes, there's no other to spin this, that douchebag got what he deserved. You're supposed to build a team as a coach, not make your athletes live in fear.
