Jericho Scott: They Can’t Beat Him, So They Banned Him. August 26, 2008

What kind of league is this? Apparently one where the administration tries to predetermine who shall play for whom, which team gets the better players, and which team (or sponsor) gets the honor of playing in the postseason. And if you happen to have a kid that the league wanted on another team, and that kid refuses (politely), and goes on to dominate you, the league will attempt to ban him from playing you, then advocate for other teams quitting if they have to play against him, then blow the team up, and preserve the artificial order of competitive balance. Not just Jericho Scott; presumably anyone who has any talent at all, that doesn’t play for the predetermined champion of the league.
