I just think that is a poor choice of words on his part. He probably did not mean it that way, but he just should tell the Referee and let the Referee explain in his presentation he is disqualified from the game.

Not our problem. If the team sends him to the locker room, that is on them. I only know of basketball making this clear in their interpretations on how to handle these situations. Otherwise if the kid goes to the locker room, that is on the team to allow that or not.

I think I understood what you meant. I am not totally sure how this was addressed or if it was a POE or not. It might have been in the Pre-Season Guide or some other form of literature. I just know that the NF does not treat these things like the NCAA and NFL (or other pro leagues).
