A developemental league should be stressing SPORTSMANSHIP more than ANYTHING!!!!!! You were correct in what you did. What he did was not only unsportsmanlike, but derogatory and racial. At that rate, that young man starting his life in the wrong direction. Hopefully this will teach him something and he will become a better person. The problem is if the adults around him are saying "boys will be boys," he is not going to hear very many good things. The “boys will be boys” line is a horrible cop out as a parent. We need to teach our kids to respect others and be good people in society.
