Calling someone out for accountability is not abuse. In fact, a little yelling now nd then is not abuse in my book. Having played football and rugby, yelling can be considered motivation. Unless you're a snowflake of course.

My point here is that there are cultures attached to certain things we do. Not all cultures are honey and butterflies. Some cultures are tough and for good reason. You can't apply the same behavioral requirements to every culture.

People that can't handle tough love and motivation should stay away from sports that are known for rigorous and tough training, including verbal communication.

I guarantee you a football player won't see a coach yelling for accountability as abuse, but a young gal in the wrong place posing as a distraction to players in practice most certainly would.

The world isn't a fairy tale, and abuse is sometimes a contextual issue, especially for snowflakes - unless it's brutal verbal, physical or sexual, then its wrong.
