Cardinal Ritter College Prep School had a problem. The football
player wearing jersey No. 4, an outstanding member of the team, was not
eligible to play in the season opener, because he had been ejected from a game
the previous season. Even so, the team played the opener and won.
Having served his suspension, No. 4 was eligible to play in
subsequent games, and the school won its first seven games.
However: An astute observer noticed that tattoos on No. 4’s
arms matched the tattoos of the player who wore jersey No. 24 in the season
opener.
Technically, since No. 4 never served the suspension, all
the games he played in are forfeit. So the school’s 7-0 (so far) season is in
the toilet.
Furthermore, the entire football program has been suspended
for the year, meaning that the other members of the team are losing their
opportunity to play this year.
Is the moral of the story, “Make your players take
responsibility for their own actions.”?
Or is it, “Hide the evidence better.”?
Either way, the coach has been fired.
