The Atlee Softball Team and The Code

The Atlee Girls Little League softball team was disqualified from the Championship game after posting an obscene picture directed at the team they had just defeated in the semi-finals.  The team, made up of 12-14 year olds was replaced in the final by the team they had just beaten.  What does the Code say about this?  The Code says, “I will display …honorable behavior off the field.”  We always represent ourselves, our families, our teams and our schools or leagues wherever we are.  These girls have learned that lesson the hard way – the league would not tolerate that behavior as representing it.  How often do you think about yourself as a representative of more than yourself?  What do you think the reputation is of your team or school with your opponents?  How do you want to be remembered by your teammates?
