Everything can change with a phone call.
Five minutes of conversation and beliefs I held to be true for years were unraveled. Probably forever.
The phone call in question came from the President of our association. He told me that he had reinstated the two players who quit during last Saturday’s game.
His reason, he said, was that they were kids. 12 and 13 year old kids who made a mistake. A big mistake, for sure, but dismissing them from the team was, in his opinion, an even bigger mistake.
