Cut The Cancer Kid

More proof people suck: A 13 year old boy was cut from his local traveling youth basketball team. A boy who'd survived cancer. A boy who'd been through chemo. A boy who couldn't make the tryouts this year, and who was offered to be judged based on his performance last year, during which he was taking chemo. A boy who was one of ONLY FOUR KIDS CUT from a pool of 54. And the league also let his father go from a VOULNTEER coaching slot. The idiot who runs the league said, "Could there be an exception, I guess there could have been but we try to keep everything according to our policies as best we can." It's a KID'S TEAM. This was not the right thing to do. Thanks to Deadspin.com and SportsByBrooks.com for the link.
