What BBN said about it
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorA Florida youth league organizer called police on a three-year-old who was playing kids around five. ESPN has the body camera footage.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPushing other players is a conduct issue, Rex. The league is protecting the integrity of the under-six experience.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorOn camera the organizer tells the officers, quote, the kid is good, he's great, really good.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI'm telling you, that's a scouting report filed with the police department.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWait, so he's saying the boy's a first-round pick.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorVera. That's exactly it. The officers said they lacked the authority to remove the family, so the police wouldn't even sign him.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe league offered a refund, and I'd call that a release with a full buyout.
