The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s assistant football coach, who is responsible for training the Cornhuskers running back corps, said he was disappointed with his current crop of potential candidates.

“As a good, Christian man, I find it offensive that none of these young lads have that good old-fashioned, home-grown toughness. Most of these boys look like they’ve seen the inside of one too many nail salons, if you ask me,” said Brown in an interview earlier this week.

The coach has received some negative feedback from University officials for his comments during last month’s Omaha City Council meeting. Brown testified before the council against the city’s proposed anti-discrimination laws that would add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected classes in the workplace.

“Look. I’m all for the advancement of society, but these nancy-boys are not fit for the rough and tumble out there on the field. That’s part of the reason I’ve been so outspoken–these new laws are babying our already wussified society,” added Brown.

Brown reiterated his distress with the apparently abnormally unmasculine new lineup of football players later in the interview.

“Without some good old-fashioned principles, how are we supposed to know how to run our country or live our lives? No doubt the majority of this holy Christian nation is opposed to liberal policy changes such as these,” concluded Brown.

“No nation has ever advanced by kowtowing to the ludicrous demands of the minority. And I, for one, will not stand for it.”
