Coach Bites Head Off Live Bird


AVON, Ind., 4:37 p.m. EST February 26, 2002 - A high school wrestling coach in Indiana has been suspended for two weeks without pay -- for biting the head off a live sparrow in front of team members.

The school board in the Indianapolis suburb of Avon voted 4-1 Monday night to suspend Aron Bright because of the incident.
Bright said that team members "laughed and laughed" when he did it. He said he only meant to have some "innocent fun."

An 18-year-old senior who saw the incident at Bright's parents' home said the coach essentially acted on a dare from the rest of the team. Several parents and students spoke at the school board meeting in support of Bright.

"We were just hanging out with some time to kill there," Bright said. "It was a dare between me and another coach."

Bright said he regrets the head-biting and calls it "unprofessional."

"We were having a lot of fun as a team, something at the time I thought was just harmless fun," Bright said. "In retrospect, it's created a whole situation and that's snowballed into a big mess."

The 31-year-old also teaches history and geography at Avon High School, but does not think the incident will affect his ability to teach.

That's correct, That was already done by Ozzy Osborne..
He should've used a hampster, a frog, or something that didn't copy a professional.

Even if it wasn't so disgusting, I wouldn't do it.

If something DID go wrong, it would devastate my family to lose ANOTHER family member from biting off a bird's head.

Well now, I wonder just how much "fun" the sparrow thought it was. I'm not an "aminal rites" phanatic, but for Christ's sake this is just plain sick.

No, someone just called the coach a geek and he proved it.

Totally disgusting.. I am not a big animal rights nut either but sheesh.. he needs to be charged with something. And those no brain brats laughing about it? What is wrong with people today!

[Blonde Heat]

Its completely disgusting and the kids who laughed obviously were not raised to respect animals.

[Don]

Yeah, then they have this coach that they are supposed to look up to because he is supposed to be an adult, and a leader doing crap like this. Gee, I wonder what they learned from this incident.

Makes you wonder what else he would do on a dare. He doesn't seem like much of a role model for the kids.
