There some info. there.

I'm split on this and there are good points on both sides. I think if the kids were older, I would have no sympathy for them but with 8 year olds and the weight problems kids have today, I could see the point with having either play another position or move him to an older league.

The mother sounds like a real idiot and has threatened people, gotten an attorney and said that when she is done, the league will be shut down.

The part of new Haven where the league is has many problems with drugs, prostitution and killings, etc. All the good the league does is being overshadowed by this.
