I myself am a coach and player. I have played this game in 5 different
countries. Now I live in IL, USA. I am just shocked with this decision.
I found this decision redicoulus. How they can disband the team for Parental
misconduct. It is like they disband Man United or Liverpool for fan misconduct.
Another sign of artificial political correctness in the USA. While I abhore the
alleged behavior of the parent fan in question but disbanding and disqualifying
a team is way out of line. Only in USA, in which O.J. gets away since he has the
buck to spend for good lawyers, all this supposedly political correctness
something like this (disbanding a team for rude fan bahavior) can occur.
