I think the most shocking part of the story is 300 women paying $50 to attend a workshop.
Principal shook the coach down for $1500 and then acted like he had no idea about the 2 day event.
but who the hell thought a twerk workshop at a HS gym with video was a good idea?
Janitor won the day tho.. got paid $500 AND got to watch asses all day.

All Jacob Shaw wanted was to send his Hi-Tides to a basketball tournament in Las Vegas.
Shaw has coached boys basketball at Miami Beach Senior High for eight years. A friend of a friend, celebrity twerker Nastya Nass, was stopping in Miami for her “Twerk Tour.” She needed a venue, and Shaw had keys to the school gym. Shaw would get $4,300 for his team.
The twerking video went viral — and so did the consequences.
Now the 39-year-old coach says his principal and activities director both knew about the arrangement, but he questions why he was the only one punished.
According to Shaw and and text messages he showed to the Miami Herald, Shaw not only got approval from both Principal Maria Rodriguez and Activities Director Maylee Ann Costa, but the messages also show they wanted and received a cut of the cash, too.
“We’re good for AC request ” Costa, who goes by Ms. Mac, texted Shaw. “I expect my cut lol.”
Shaw and Costa arranged for the air conditioning to be on and for the alarms to be turned off on the weekend of Feb. 22-23. A school janitor was assigned to clean up after the 300 women who came to learn to twerk from one of the best in the game. The janitor was paid with proceeds from the event, according to Shaw.
Screenshots of texts between Miami Beach Senior High’s basketball coach Jacob Shaw and activities director Maylee Ann Costa, known as Ms. Mac, show the two made arrangements for a “Twerk Tour” in the school gym.
Yet Miami-Dade County Public Schools only blamed Shaw for holding an “unauthorized event” on campus. Rodriguez and Costa were quietly put under investigation for the same event, but while Shaw was reassigned away from campus, Rodriguez and Costa stayed at Beach High. Shaw says Assistant Principal Julio Echemendia also knew about the arrangements.
“They’re at the school working, and I’m here,” Shaw said, referring to his reassignment to the region office. “I don’t like to bring the race card out, but it’s three Spanish people, protecting this one Spanish lady, and I’m the butt of the joke.”
**************** TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*
