STATEMENT ABOUT THREADS IN REGARD TO SUSPENDED WO-S PLAYER

[WOSgrad]

When word first became public that a player from West Orange-Stark had been suspended from playing in the West Orange-Stark/Hamshire-Fannett game last week, setxsports.com stated that it's policy regarding the matter would be that details published here regarding the suspension would come only after mainstream media, i.e local newspapers, television and/or radio stations revealed such details.  And to this point, setxsports has held to that.  Yesterday, by publishing a link to an article published by the Beaumont Enterprise, the name of the suspended player was made public here.  However, since setxsports has taken its stance, through unofficial channels it has become apparent that this matter will be in litigation and in fact, that process may have already begun.

Thus, until time as such litigation has come to a conclusion or that courts have signaled that it is okay to publish such details, setxsports will not publish any details about the suspension including the name of the suspended player or the details of the alleged transgression.  By publishing the link to the Enterprise article, setxsport does not believe that it committed any wrongdoing.  However, with litigation pending, setxsports has decided to step back and not have any comments regarding this matter until such litigation clears up.

We know that some may criticize this move as setxsports protecting a WO-S player.  Nothing is further from the truth, it is just to trust the courts to sort this out and not be a potential hinderance to that process and to protect the interests of sexsports.com and those that operate this board.  Some may argue that we are being too cautious in this approach, we acknowledge the disagreement up front, but again feel that this is the prudent approach at this point.

We thank you for your patience in this matter.
