Quote from the article: "This entire league exists so he can play defense on the best team in his weight class. . . . He is my son, I own the league, and he plays every snap on defense."
What a jerk!
Who?
The coach who (for whatever reason) agreed to those rules, abided by those rules, then violated those rules in the final game of the season? I agree. He's a jerk who let down these kids.
Certainly the coach bears full responsibility for what happened. You disagree? Do you think the lesson for these kids should be that we only obey the rules that we agree with?
He "owns" the league? Did he buy all the uniforms? Pay for the coaching? Pay for the gas that got all the kids to practice? He should be kicked out of the commissionership himself.
