AllFacts

I tried not to comment to you, for the simple fact that your post doesn't hold a lot of weight an any conversation I have read so far; Just reckless jibber; But just to make you feel better...I put out facts that I know; When someone states something, those facts are what need to be given and corrected if what was put is not true; So I asked to be enlightened on what they might know, or don't know...

What cheating have they done in previous years? Enlighten me. Asking because you seem to know.

Once again, reading between lines that are not there, kinda like the bylaws; Never said your team is crying over getting beat, Nor mentioned your team at all; Also, as an adult and having an adult conversation, I refuse to put a child's name on a sports forum. That is off limits to do; But just know your president and 2 others on the board knows of the kids, and possibly a few people posting on here knows as well. But to make a long story short, complaining on what is right and wrong is pointless when it isn't in the bylaws. Focus on the bylaws, debate them, not a kid, parent, or coach....Words to the wise

Bending rules mean that the rule is there; I know a kid personally that plays for a team and goes to school elsewhere, that doesn't have a waiver. And guess what.....That kids does not play for Port Arthur. That team also has a losing record, but a picture was not taken of that kid and sent around, maybe because that team is not a winning team; Also, lets be clear, I have a child that plays on a team with STJFL and it is not on the port Arthur team, but unlike most people, our team does not cry over getting beat, but looking at these post, MANY DO!

You words not mine... "Its known" and "School ball". Once again assumptions kills the cat every time! If it is a rule, it should be put in the bylaws! And there is a difference in school ball and youth sports; Obviously! Clear cut bylaws are what's needed; And this way panties wont get in a bunch about what should and shouldn't be allowed; But im sure you (being such an upstanding citizen to the community) would talk to your president about getting the bylaws re-worded. So that ASSumptions wont continue to be made; If so, let me know how that goes....

Your right about that, my sources did not say that. Nor does STJFL bylaws! So which one should we follow, the bylaws that most definitely need be changed or what someone said that the parent/coach should have done?

Not sure about the response from your president; But I have also spoken to 2 different members that says something totally different; But I guess they state different things to make adults debate the facts; But that still doesn't negate the fact that at certification things were done correctly and proper paperwork was displayed for this child to participate with port Arthur; It all boils down to re-wording the bylaws that will make kids play in the school district of the upcoming school year; If this is done, there wouldn't be any objections to what kids goes "here" and plays "there".

@DEM BOYZ now im confused. You asked a question on if the child has a waiver, a reply was given, but then you quote and say that the kid does not have a waiver????? Did you get new info since your last post? Also, I have never posted anything before on here, nor would need to hide to make a comment; But you might want to check with your president/board members on this one. My facts are creditable.

I have read all the comments and also wanted to do my research before I comment; But to answer your question, the coaches kid goes to school in a different town and a waiver. The discussion is directed to "cheating" and it is not; The bylaws need to be changed and people read what they want to read: SECTION 4. All participants will be certified according to the school in which they attend. The issue that needs to be changed is that it needs to say "according to the school in which they will attend of the current year"; I know for a fact that the kid went to port Arthur school 2017-2018 and under the bylaws that is how the child is classified; The hurricane also played a huge part in it all; Certification for STJFL was before this school year started so that kid plays in which where he lived and went to school; There was also a comment of the twins that go to PNG; I know for a fact that those kids did not play football last year and when they did play they played for the port Arthur team that was in TYFA and not STJFL; This year they are playing for PNG, So not sure why their names were brought up; I also know for a fact that there are more than one kid that lives in BC and plays for LCM and 1 for sure has a waiver; Do I think PA is a stacked team? NO, I think they have a group of kids that play well together. But I do believe there is a thin line between facts and opinions; Facts are clear and cut, Opinions are far from the truth. Hopes this helps those with questions...
