Teach them to cheat when they are young

Yesterday I attended a 12 and under girls softball tournament. A granddaughter was playing in it. The problem is the granddaughter is 13. The coach lied about her age in order for her to play. I don’t know how many other girls on the team were illegal.

My granddaughters team won the championship. They celebrated. They took the team pictures. They acted like they won the tournament fair and square and deserved the medals around their necks.

I found the entire day to be absolutely disgusting.

    SOMETIMES A CHILD IS ELIGIBLE TO PLAY BASED ON THE DATE OF THE BIRTHDAY. COULD THIS HAVE BEEN THE CASE?

    No, this was blatant cheating.
