Respect for all athletes
 

I'm a retired coach; I'm about fair play and respect for all athletes. It's about encouraging participation, not making it harder for kids to be involved. These laws are divisive and completely miss the point of sports - which is to teach kids teamwork, discipline, and respect. I never excluded a kid, and I don't think we should be doing it now. It's just... hurtful.
