too much attitude

Coach Z is a formidable opponent on the football field. In a team full of women, she stands out as aggressive. Her coach and she have not agreed on many things. During the school year she is also a PE teacher, so she knows things. The coach called her over and told her she was off the team. Many of us feel it is because she knows more about football. Here is the excuse he gave her. “because you have too much attitude.” Too much attitude to play football? We who heard scoffed.
