Part 1:  I know that this story is from a student, but while she is passionate about her school and team, these two paragraphs sum it all up the wrong way:  "Many players felt the initial problem started this year when Martinez wanted to change the football program by strictly enforcing policy. Some varsity players were fed up with Martinez’s insistence on structure and left the team."  First of all, no matter how you feel about Martinez, if he is the new coach, he is the new coach, so any rules he wishes to lay down, either take it or leave it.  Apparently, many chose to leave.  It's like any team or any job.  a new head guy comes in, he's going to have his/her own rules.
