Muscle Shoals Coach Blake Beck Again Attacks City Parks & Rec Department

 

The following is a guest blog from a Muscle Shoals resident:

On Wednesday, at Gattman park, the newest over rated, over paid and inexperienced Muscle Shoals baseball Coach, Beck, was immediately heard and seen screaming, like a rabid animal, at the Parks and Recreation Director. It was such a shocking and inappropriate scene, that the volume of his poor choice of language halted both the high school softball and baseball teams from practicing. 

I mean, is this the type of person you want your children being taught and coached by and looking up to as a role model? Of course, out of the combined 5-6 extra “coaches” standing around staring in disbelief, not one stepped up to tell him what an idiot, for lack of better word, he was being, in fear of the Muscle Shoals school system cult.

It’s apparent this guy is unprofessional, classless and needs to attend some anger management classes. It’s known this isn’t his first irrational scene and is an unstable human. Beck is a mere pawn, being used by Basden and his cronies, Holden and Davis. This all stems from, all 4 of them constantly harassing the Parks and Recreation employees with their petty remarks over the looks of the baseball field in their eyes (although none of them have ever had education on how to maintain a baseball field). 

According to professionals, Gattman park baseball field is in perfect shape! It’s supposedly not “good enough” for these Muscle Shoals bullies to play on but yet the Northwest Shoals community college Coach (and players) have said these fields are perfection, they love playing at Gattman and have asked to play all their games at Gattman this year. Hmmm?? So whats the problem with these Muscle Shoals creeps? A lot! But this time its because they are so jealous of their Tuscumbia rival. Deshler has a new turf baseball field (paid for by certain Tuscumbia residents affiliated with Deshler). 

So Muscle Shoals is ticked off that they are not getting their way like they are accustomed to and forcing the parks and rec to pay for them one. The school system should have plenty of money to pay for their own turf field considering it’s been said out of the mouth of Holden “they purposely abused the money and unnecessarily over paid for the new million dollar track by thousands just to resemble a certain university track for no other reason than just because they are Muscle Shoals”. Yet, no one tax payer is “allowed” on this track.

If they don’t like the field they’re playing on - go somewhere else! So will the person in the position to do so, hold this little creep accountable for his public inappropriate and unprofessional actions this time and hand him over the repercussions he is overdue?

I was told he was completely out of line, screaming and flailing around like an idiot while he was mostly insulting the work of the Parks and Recreation director with untrue statements, with his simplistic mind, regarding him personally and his job and insulting the work of the guys who maintain the fields and what garbage the fields are. 

I was told that “they have banned people from the parks for much less and this guy at minimum deserves to be banned”. The blatant haughtiness and disrespect out of these certain 4 men toward the Parks and Rec is nothing new for the mayor and has been allowed to continue for far too long. The Parks and Rec has made huge efforts in order to work with the school on a number of topics for the best interest of the kids but it’s just become impossible when the school is being allowed to keep disrespecting, demanding and expecting more and more and refuses to work with the rec. The rec's track team isn’t even “allowed” on their own million dollar home town track?? They are forced to go elsewhere. 

The park board members and others are fed up with this nonsense out of these men as well and have called on the mayor to take action toward this guy and put a stop to their behavior as a whole rather than allowing them to continue to “run the town” as he always does. They have gotten out of hand and it’s due to the one in charge allowing these men to tell him what to do and everyone else in the city. Ridiculous.
