Imagine you’re at work or school. You’re about to give a presentation and someone calls you fat, or ugly, or stupid. Or, worse yet, hurls a racial slur your way. Would you feel comfortable continuing? Greg Walsh wouldn’t.

Walsh is a house league coach in Peterborough, Ont. He leads (or, rather, led) the midget NAPA Auto Parts team in the local loop.
