quotes: "I lay the blame, if you must know, at the feet of Vanessa Watkins . . . If it was my child, he would have never been in that position because I would not have put him on a team where he was not competing and where he was a liability to the team." Yeah, I see what he's saying. He's just arguing that her skill level sucks compared to the others and she's dragging the team down.. something which is VERY important for winning/losing. Is this a serious argument for Single A level hockey? I dont know, but if you wanna see your kid win, maybe. This guy is arguing for skill level and ice time, not about a girl. The people pissed off about this are saying he's discriminating, but I don't see it. Not gender discrimination, anyway.. skill level discrimination, definitely.
Atis said he supports coed hockey generally and that his move wasn't about gender discrimination. It was about skill level.
"This should have never come down to a singling out of Kayla in this fashion. I think you should look to Vanessa and ask her if she felt truly in her heart . . . if Kayla was at the same level as her teammates."
The girl says this : ""Everyone's nice to each other. It doesn't matter if we win or lose. If we lose a game, it's okay because everyone picks each other up." Maybe the parent was just taking this way too seriuosly.. It's kid's hockey, 14 year olds. Single A level skills.. not AAA which is the real talent.
Some other good quotes in there.
