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.
