Awsome! Let's knock a little kid we don't know, making assumptions on incomplete information, and then oh yeah, and then insert ourselves into the story. I don't care if they are participation awards, the kid is going out and trying and kids shouldn't be robbed of their achievement for stupid reasons. I would wonder how connected the second place teams coach or parents are to the league leadership.

I would wonder how connected the second place teams coach or parents are to the league leadership.

My first thought too was that this had to come from the coach or head of the second place team or a parent of a second place team member. Just wouldn't expect it in Newfoundland. Sure, we told our share of Newfie jokes back in Toronto, but there was an underlying respect that they were down to earth, common sense type folks.
