The first baseball free spring for Chipper Jones in over 20 years since retiring and it seems the future hall of famer has been using a lot of his spare time on twitter.
Jones was candid on his opinion regarding the controversial video of now former Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice abusing his players verbally and physically
I got cursed at and called names by a ton of people growing up. Were they fired? Nope! Do I care? Nope! What’s the big deal? Toughen up!

Yeah, been hit w/ bball equipment on purpose, been dragged around a football field by my facemask and ran suicides til I puked! I ain’t mad.

Does Chipper have a valid point? Does that kind of extreme tough coaching ultimately pay off in the end for players, or is there a line that Mike Rice so clearly crossed?
