I'd have shot this coach

I'd like to hear more from Farr. They only printed this statement.

"It was a baseball move," Farr has insisted over and over again. "We played within the rules. We were trying to win."

It was a baseball move but was it a little league move? I'd like to hear his moral feelings on it. If he feels bad for the kid but decided it was more important to win then I might be OK with it.

If he stays the course with who gives a crap about ethics as long as it's legal then I don't buy it. He should have ethics and think twice about doing it with kids.

I remember about 35 years ago when a kid's father actually got in a fist fight with a little league soccer coach because he pulled his son out. These are kids. Winning is important but let the kids play. The kids should decide who wins and looses.

I'm not sure that I'm totally against this guy but I would want to chat with him before I'd allow him any where near my kid.

That scenario doesn't really fit here - especially if the soccer league was like this baseball league where everyone plays.
