The league offered to put this boy on a team that matched up to his level...why would the parents want him constantly to play on a team that he was far too good for. Maybe for THEIR EGO?

Actually, if what I read was correct, the team he was asked to play for was an opposing team in the same league. Did I read that incorrectly?

If he was slated to play for a superior team in the same league, this is an outcome-based decision, rather than a game-based decision.

The article I read yesterday, CLICK HERE (and read the whole thing) stated that there were many options put on the table but the mother chose to go to a lawyer.

If you think about it, this would be the best education for the kids...if you excel in something, you move up...people notice you...that's how the world works. ESPECIALLY SPORTS. Again, I think this has all to do with this women's ego and not much to do with what is best for her son.
