The Atlee Junior League softball team was removed from the World Series championship game on Saturday after posting an inappropriate photo on social media.
According to the Richmond-Times Dispatch, Little League officials were made aware of the photo, which shows several members of the team giving the middle finger to the camera, on Saturday morning. It was quickly decided to disqualify the team, which consists of girls ages 12-14, from further competition.
I have no problem with this at all. These little twits need to learn posting stupid shit on social media has consequences. Better this than missing out on or losing a job for posting some stupid shit they did.

In all seriousness. Just two days ago I posted a picture of my son flipping the bird at me (he was showing me a cut on his finger) on IG.
He and I should probably have our lives destroyed for that. Seems reasonable.

Yes and that is exactly what happened to these little bundles of joy - their lives were destroyed …
They just keepin’ it real, yo.
They learned a valuable lesson.

You mean like this?

Agreed. Make your mistakes and learn from them in these relatively low stakes environments rather than finding out you can’t do whatever you want with no consequences by losing an actual job or worse, later in life.
Ridiculous overreaction. You guys are pussies.

I posted the article with no commentary of my own. I will admit I have mixed emotions about it. On one hand, it was relatively harmless - classless, but harmless. The league probably could have taken another action, but this one** isn’t too far off base** (see what I did there?)
On the other hand, the girls learned a valuable but also harmless lesson that could serve them well for the rest of their life.

In Canada they would have been deported. With your draconian xenophobic immigration policy, they could never return.

Damn straight.
I agree with you and don’t disagree with slowguy. Life lesson for the little shits.
If you guys were the decision maker, would you have DQ’d them for this? I wouldn’t have. Sure, give them a scare by spending a few days “considering” their expulsion, but in the end I’d have let them compete. They’re kids. Kids do dumb things. No one got hurt by the foolishness.

Maybe we take a big step back and ask ourselves, does the punishment fit the crime?
What exactly is the offense? Does it violate a previously agreed up on code of conduct? Is there some rule broken that merits the DQ?
