The fact that I know the people involved gives a certain credence to my opinion. Whether you care to agree is up to you. Certainly all of you who don't know the people involved are basing your opinions on what you've read in a newspaper blurb. I would argue that knowing the people involved absolutely helps to understand the situation better.
The issue was that parents complained because a girl was playing on a boys team. The coach should have known it was against the league's policy to allow a girl to play on a boys team. Evidently, the coach was told on many occasions that it was against the league policy. The coach escalated the issue to the media. The victim is this poor girl who meant no harm - she doesn't want all this attention - she just wants to play basketball.
Ultimately, I simply don't care what everyone else thinks.
