What do you think...
That's not even close to the point and you
know it. If I stand for an interview and tell them that I prefer to
listen to 1st Baptist's choir, ours is OK, but my heart is over at 1st Baptist
then the members of my choir are going to be demoralized. It may be that
they can overcome it (as in your description below...the football team
may very well be able to overcome the slight), but it doesn't change the
fact that my words were a demoralizing influence.
My example is no different. As
leader of the choir, I have a responsibility for the morale of the
choir. Negative comments from me will reduce that morale. A
cheerleader, sissy or not, has the responsibility for the morale of the
players and the fans. Negative comments from that person will reduce
morale. That is what demoralizing is...the reducing of
morale.
It's not a question of how much it was
reduced, or even a question of whether it actually did or not. The real
question is whether the comments could reduce morale. I say that yes
they could. Therefore it is demoralizing, and sufficient to cause the
guy to lose his position on the squad.
As I said, had I been the cheering coach
he would have been sent home before the 3rd quarter began.
