I'm truly disappointed with the Washington Post.

In the story they never write the sons complete name (Scott Hinkle), just the fathers.

Had they done so he (the spoiled little @!#$!) would be forever Google linked to this event. It would haunt him for life. That would be a good outcome. People (especially girls) often google people they are about to hire or date. They should know what kind of environment Scott Hinkle's character was formed in.

If I had been writing the story I would have written the boys complete name out every time it came up. As it is he will only have to live it down locally. The reporter showed mercy on the boy, but not the dad. Then again this kid already has enough going against him (but not enough for me to remove his complete name from this post).

Raptors Win Game Under Fired Coaches
Fairfax Team That Missed Playoffs Over Commissioner Imbroglio Given Rousing Reception

By Candace Rondeaux, Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, November 13, 2006; Page B04 [excerpt]

"There was still a little pain, and a whole lot of rain, but the South County Raptors played through it like champions yesterday. The spunky team of 12- to 14-year-old boys from southern Fairfax County made one last successful grab for gridiron glory with a 6-0 victory over the ferocious Gainesville Grizzlies.

Cheers went up on both sides of the field yesterday as the Raptors walked hand-in-hand onto the rain-soaked playing field in Vienna.

Although Hinkle allowed the Raptors to use league equipment and facilities for yesterday's game, his son did not play. The fired coaches did, however, return to coach a team that had stood up for them.

Andrew punched in the winning touchdown with just under a minute to go in the second quarter. The 12-year-old from Lorton said he was sorry Hinkle's son wasn't there to share in the victory and said he wished Hinkle had been more sportsmanlike. "I was sad when I found out we wouldn't be playing," Andrew said. "It would be great if he would apologize, but if not, we'll just have to hold on."

League Chairman Mark Meana, who helped arrange yesterday's special bowl game, said the incident had not only marred the season for the Raptors but stained the league's reputation."
