rhemann introducing adi to jeremy after his freshman year scandal when everybody was shaming him for his sexuality (also after noah’s death)….cannot imagine how life-changing it must have been for jeremy to find out that his coach that he looks up to is a gay man & happily in a relationship with another man for over 20 years

Ok, so I know we make a lot of jokes about how gay the Trojans are, but after reading tgr… that’s totally on purpose

There’s a reason that Rhemman respects Wymack so much, and it’s that they’re doing the same thing. Where Wymack has made a team that’s a haven for kids who need a second chance, Rhemman has made one that’s a safe space for queer athletes.

Rhemman’s quieter about it, in part because he can be, and in part for the safety of his kids, but it’s the same thing Wymack’s doing. And while he might not be as outspoken about it, he’s absolutely putting out the signals for those who might need to know. Just look at who his captains are. Jeremy, who’s had a lot of attention for being unsubtly gay. And Xavier, a trans man who has transitioned while vice-captain and isn’t trying to hide it.

And if his two captains weren’t a loud enough signal that his team was a safe space, you have the team’s reputation. They’re known for being nice to everyone. Anyone who joins this team knows what standards they’re going to be held to and can guess that bullying won’t be tolerated within the team. More than that, the team’s reputation doesn’t just mean safety at home, it also acts as a shield for its players. It’s well established that almost no one beefs with the Trojans and going after one of their players is a taboo. (Yes Jean is the exception here, but the more entrenched in the team he gets the more it’ll be true for him too).

Rhemman has gone out of his way to make a space as safe as possible for queer athletes. And for those who need it, he’ll show them it’s possible to live a happy fulfilled life by modeling it for them. Rhemman and Wymack are two sides of the same coin.

#these two men are trying so hard to show their circumstances don’t define them #they’re trying so hard to help the next generation #and I love them so much for it #they may have distinctly different attitudes #but they’re the same #fathers #they deserve the world #david wymack #james rhemann #tgr spoilers #the golden raven spoilers #the golden raven #tgr #screaming from a rooftop

Rhemann being the first adult to tell Jean “we should’ve protected you, I’m sorry we didn’t” and getting between Jean and his abusers. Like fuckkk him taking down Zane of course, and holding Jean together when he broke down, but he’s probably going to go to that trial and stand there as moral support. And Jean will see Hervé and Rhemann in the same room and further cement which one is his real father. He might even collapse in Rhemann’s arms again. Oh I’m gonna be sickkk 😭😭😭

Shoutout to Coach James Rhemann because oh, the man that he is. Wdym he sat his new recruit down a dozen times to try to figure out what was going on with him and why he was so moody? What do you mean he helped that same boy heal and change (to the best of his abilities) after tragedy struck harder than ever before? That he encouraged Jeremy; eventually made him into the USC Trojans’ captain? Wdym he looks out for and respects his team to the point that he transferred a motherfucker out for being hateful and biased towards Xavier? Did not kick him off the team and ruin Julian’s Exy career and future; no, Rhemann just sent him somewhere else that would be better suited for them all. Wdym he tries to help Jean but also understands that he has to be patient and go slow because Jean isn’t a normal kid? That he came running and knocked Zane off his feet, their age gap be damned? And this man likes to garden? And he’s in a loving relationship with another man who he brags about his players to? That he’s well recognized amongst his colleagues and the college league? Oh, I could talk about James Rhemann for days.
