Obama should get involved as this was obviously an honest mistake.

Coach and player both have a future with the FSU Crimi’noles.

Moral of the story: When you have the wrong player on your team you even lose when you win.

Catholic school... kudos to them for self reporting the case.

Junior in high school and his “unique tattoos” gave him away.

Barry Soetoro was ineligible, so they put Barack Obama on the team in his place.

“...suspended for the first game of the season but played anyway using a different name.”
Sounds like future Rat material.

I encountered something similar at a baseball postseason invitational tournament for elementary through middle school teams. My son was on a 8-9yo team and the team was in the championship game. In the middle innings, the opposing team started frequent pinch runner substitution.

A couple of the parents in our sides bleacher questioned that one of the batters at the plate had been pulled out earlier for a pinch runner and was now back in the game with a different number. We all started watching a lot closer and saw this happen a second and third time. Lots of shouting to the plate umpire finally got his attention and he kicked a couple of players out the game for jersey swapping Didn't kick the coach out as well though. My son's team won the game.

Jackson’s unique tattoos apparently gave away the scam.

Stupidity all around.

Ah the ole switch jerseys trick Also useful for players ejected and to come back into the same game.
