Apparently, you are not familiar with the ASA Elite Player list.

The league is not operating in good faith. The manager of the second place team (who is also a league official) knew how good the kid was and tried to recruit him. Now that he is on another team and winning the league championship, he is "too good"? Sure, right. You bet. All kinds of things wrong with this. How can a rec league have player recruitment? How can the same person both want the player on his team, but claim he is too good for the league if he is on another team? How can a league official use his power to disqualify the opponent's star player so his team will be champion?
Putting aside all the BS with the alleged adults (and you thought SP players were bad), if this is a private group operating a league involving voluntary
participation on private property, there is...excuse me, "shouldn't be" any assumed legal rights by any individual. Of course, that doesn't stop anyone, parent, lawyer or judge from declaring themselves as the god of the community and start telling people how to run their life.
