I'm gonna tell you what happened. And I would appreciate you're input.
Here's what happened:
Our league is considerd class D by ASA but class C by our county. Don't ask how that works out, but that's what it is. A team in our rec league has a very interesting roster. 7 of the players play for a Gold A tournament team in the next county. Have I said they are Gold A players? The county commissioner has said that unfourtunetly this is legal. They are allowed to play for whoever they want, but when it comes to tournaments they must only play Gold A teams. That's great and all. With about 12 teams in our league, anywhere from one-fourth to a half of the girls on each team are new to softball. And now they are told to play against Gold A girls. Doesn't this seem unfair? No one is angry at the players. It's not really their fault. The coach purposely stacked his team. We found out that this coach is no longer permitted to coach girls soccer. Why? Because even if the girl is injured, his philosophy is "too bad. you're one of the best players. Go play". He doesn't even care about his own daughter. All he wants is to call himself a champion. The season ends around late June. So we have to deal with this until then. This is my last year to play in this league. Around here, softball isn't really accepted. And after looking at this situation......I'm not surprised. Why do people like this have to ruin everything? Next year rules will be put in place to try to help prevent this from happening again.
