Sports is about the passion that drives you to a victory. However, one high school coach is out of a job after his bosses think he took things a bit too far.

In Florida, Seminole High School head baseball coach Kenne Brown has been fired after he gave a speech full of curse words and profanities after winning a state title.

On the bus directly after winning the state championship, Brown vehemently let the expletives fly. A player on the team recorded the video, and now it has been leaked to the public. The video shows Brown repeatedly saying the f-word and pointing out that one player had diabetes.

This is not an uncommon thing either. Few people have forgotten about Mike Schildt showing his passion back in October. He fired up that locker room.

Superintendent Walt Griffin said in a letter to Brown that he was "extremely concerned about the abundance of profanity" and that announcing the health situation of one of his players could've been a HIPAA violation.

According to WFTV, Brown self reported the incident to principal Jordan Rodriguez earlier in the month, but was still fired and suspended from teaching in the district for five days without pay. Some parents interviewed said they thought Brown didn't get a fair punishment for his transgression.

A petition has since been created to try and save Brown's position as head coach. As it stands, a community is divided and a baseball team is without a leader.
