An Ohio youth basketball team was suspended for the remainder of its season for offensive terms on its jerseys, according to Evan Millward of ABC News 5 Cleveland.

The Kings Rec Basketball 7-12 team wore jerseys with the nickname "Wet Dream Team" on the front, and on the back of the jerseys, players had offensive terms such as "Knee Grow" and "Coon".

The team was playing its fourth game of the season at West Clermont Middle School when parents of the opposing team noticed what was on the jerseys. A representative from the West Clermont team spoke with officials before the start of the second quarter and the game was called, according to Chris Mayhew of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Neither team is associated with its local school district, but use school facilities for practices and games.

Do you have a letter or recognized certification for your Offense-by-Proxy designation?

Ya know how we all fill out secret questions on our stuff, along with password, etc. I was filling out one and chose my favorite pet as one of the secret questions. My pet (years ago) was a white eskimo spitz and her name was Whitey. I put that name in the blank and up popped a “No Profanity”. Now, it took me several seconds to figure out what I had done to get that message...

Modern times compared to those years back when I had my Whitey as my favorite pet... she was a real jewel.
