ATTENTION, EVERYONE, FOR THIS IS THE BEST STORY EVER.
The Bethany College men’s golf team took a page out of Golf Digest’s spread of the 2004 UCLA team and posed in the buff for an unofficial team photo (above), with just golf clubs covering their man parts, and it didn’t sit well with the team’s coach, who also happens to be the religious school’s athletic director.
Jon Daniels suspended every player on the Fighting Swedes for three tournaments because of the photo he called, “a case of young people who just don’t think beyond the moment and don’t realize who they’re hurting.”
Who they’re hurting? Lame. But no, here is where the story gets amazing:
Team captain Jack Hiscock told KAKE news that the team is appealing the suspension, and mentioned that the photos were just meant to be fun.
“It was only intended as a bit of fun with the lads,” said Hiscock who is from England. “We all have our shirts off, our shorts to ankles and we are holding golf clubs in front covering up our um, male parts.”
Jack Hiscock. Team Captain. Oh, I am overjoyed.
Deadspin has the unedited picture if you want to see it. I mean, if you’re into that sort of thing. Also, via Towleroad, here is the teevee report:
“Team captain Jack Hiscock.”
I need oxygen over here.
“Team captain Jack Hiscock…” Oh that is a FARK ready news story if I ever saw one. Someone gets that green lighted today, without fail.
The truth is often stranger, and far more erotic, than fiction.
Seriously, Daniels. Get over yourself.
Crips, you can’t even see anything. This nonsense would only happen in America. Europeans laugh at our absurd (and hypocritical) prudery.
Buh, buh, buh, but Gary (NJ), American attitudes/morals/ethics are superior! Instead of the Europeans laughing at us, they should be trying to be more like us! (I’m being snarky, of course)
“The fighting Swedes”?
who knew golfers had such great bods?
the video is apparently no longer available.
Please share that Ox before I – [Wheeze! Thud!]
Is anyone else besides me also gasping over the news team from KAKE and wondering if Tom of Finland has risen from the dead?
Someone ought to try to get in touch with the team captain and suggest they use the photo (and the controvery) to raise some money for a worthy cause! That might sort of stick it to the coach—
‘stick it to the coach’ — wasn’t that on xtube? >:P
