From the Forum:In the eyes of the John Adams High School Spartans football players, their record is 8-2. According to the Public Schools Athletic League (PSAL), their record is 5- 5.
The Spartans were forced to forfeit their first four games because of an ineligible player. Junior Antoine Arnold transferred from Bayside High School and played football there during the 2009 season. The PSAL rules state that Arnold must sit out 12 months before being allowed to play.
The mistake, which school officials have called a “clerical error,” has cost the players an opportunity to play in the playoffs. The Spartans defeated division-leading Beach Channel High School two weeks ago. The players are devastated that this error won’t give them the chance to compete for the championship.
By the time the team found out about the ruling, it was too late to mount a legal challenge to reverse the decision and allow the team to play.

It's actually they WERE robbed.
Have the proprietors of this blog ever been to elementary school?
They're probably some illegal aliens from Italy or Greece.
Obviously, you aren't from around here. The vernacular is "We wuz robbed!"
Go back to Ohio, loser.
Wow... @ Queenscrapper. You know i didnt think you were a racist but after seeing "We was robbed" I can see how you and so many others on here post things that are so blatantly obvious of what you think of anyone who is not white...
I take personal offense to this statement because I teach at that school and there are so many black, hispanic, and asian students that dont talk that way and are so much more well spoken than those idiots you see on TV in jersey shore who happen to be white by the way as well as the rich white kids who choose to do nothing with their life but waste the money they've been given.
Granted alot of them because of where they grow up and lack of parental involvement do not speak proper english at times but thats not the case for a good number of them and remove your prejudices for one day and come to the school and you'll see how ridiculous what you wrote really was, when it didnt even apply to what the post was talking about...
FYI:
"We wuz robbed!" was first shouted by Joe Jacobs, manager of Max Schmelling, when at the end of a fight Max seemed to have handily won, the decision instead went to Jack Sharkey.
It's been a sports tradition to use the term ever since...
We wuz robbed: Ref’s blown call steals World Cup win from U.S.
I actually can't believe the title of the post is controversial, but apparently there are some hypersensitive readers out there.
Seriously, I hope the offended teacher doesn't teach history...

I hope this teacher doesn't teach English, because this is about the longest run-on sentence I have ever read.

Crappy, this is where we live now... an overly "PC" nation that bleeds liberal sensitivity.
Jeezus, people it ain't about grammar
"Jeezus, people it ain't about grammar"
It should be to the ass-wipe who claims to be a teacher.

Everyone take a look at the hypocrisy of this dumb lib. Fights against the stereotypes of minorities but has no problem stereotyping white people and rich white kids.
the key words in the original post are "clerical error" and "mistake" as an excuse by the school officials to cheat in their sports program.
this procedure for an athlete, sitting out one season,when transferring to a new school, is to prevent coaches from stealing players from the other schools. the coach is at fault and is a poor role model for his students.
they got caught ,so the rest of the team is taught a lesson in ethics. hopefully they will do the right thing in their lives.....
the illegal player is considered a "RINGER". this was allowed by the "dancing with the stars" producers , when jennifer grey ,with 35 years experience as a dance/actor student, professional ,was permitted to compete with 19 year old amateurs.
the kids improved each week and should not have had to compete with a PRO.
the fix was in from the start. no one dances with a ruptured disc????? Swayze could not stand her in "dirty dancing".google dirty dancing and prove this.
" I actually can't believe the title of the post is controversial, but apparently there are some hypersensitive RACIST readers out there. "
Fixed that for you Crapper.
"They're probably some illegal aliens from Italy or Greece."
Yeah, they probably swam across the ocean to get here. rollseyes
