I absolutely agree with you. She has verbalized being disappointed and feeling “betrayed” by her fathers statement to the school. There’s a lot more concerning family dynamics that led her to feel this way, and why her father would make that statement, but this isn’t the place to discuss it and I want to respect her.

She wanted him off the team, which seemed like a reasonable request. We thought that request would be easily granted. It is my plan today to re-evaluate and go over our options with her. It will be up to her if she wants to fight the decision or accept it. We will go over what it may look like if she decides to fight, the good and the very possible bads.

After the boy sent out the group text, blaming her, everyone is aware of what’s kinda happening. There are several teammates who are very upset, they’ve discussed it with each other and their parents. I want to be sure that despite all of OUR personal feelings, we are respecting HER wishes above everyone else’s opinions.

If she wants to drop it. We will drop it.
