Mayor Rob Ford dismissed as football coach at Don Bosco

Toronto?s Catholic school board has removed Mayor Rob Ford as head football coach at Etobicoke?s Don Bosco Catholic Secondary School, ending a decade-long affiliation that has brought Ford personal joy and political praise and criticism.

The school board?s decision does not appear to be related to the crack cocaine scandal Ford is now facing ? which centres around a video in which an intoxicated Ford appears to refer to Don Bosco players as ?just f?ing minorities.? The board had been reviewing Ford?s role at Don Bosco since March.

The review was prompted by an interview with Sun News in which Ford made comments that were called inaccurate by Don Bosco?s parent council, many teachers there, and even the offensive coordinator on Ford?s coaching staff. Among other contested statements, Ford said that Eagles players would not attend school if not for the football program, that many players ?come from gangs? and from ?broken homes,? and that Don Bosco is a ?tough school? in a ?tough area.?

?Mr. Ford has helped our students rise to the challenge and realize their potential as both football players and young men,? Bruce Rodrigues, the board?s director of education, is quoted as saying in a Wednesday statement. ?This decision was based on what is best for our students, our school and the Don Bosco community.?

About fucking time.
