Okay, then why is the viral video of them kicking this kid out of the league and having him escorted out with police instead of a video of the coach having a conversation with the father about live streaming the games?
Because if that was the issue, then that should have been the conversation. Not "your kid is too good we're going to kick him out of the league because he's making the white kids feel bad about themselves."
Selective editing. That conversation could have already occurred and the parents refused and were trespassed. They knew the rage bait of having a cop come and kick them out would get views so that's the only thing they published. I will never trust influencers, especially one's who involve their own children. They are almost always complete scum of the earth.
Neither you nor I know what conversations the league had with the parents or how many times, because the parents here did not share that. The league has not shared any information on what happened, and rightfully so, though I'm sure they will now that it's hit the news. I'm just cautioning against automatically jumping to the worst conclusion on very little info, and also sharing that I'd have a serious problem with this parent live-streaming my son on Tik Tok.
The only information we have is from the family who were live streaming the game. Not sure I trust their statements on why they were escorted off by police. Definitely feels like there's a lot going on that they're not going to disclose.
