Little Leaguer benched after mom didn’t sell hot dogs
Posted May 16th, 2008 by minortopics | via www.foxnews.comA 7-year-old boy in Massachusetts had to sit out his Little League game because his mother failed to show up to work the concession stand. Apparently they have a “No Super Ropes, No Play” policy.
Jodi Hooper of Freetown said she was unable to fulfill her obligation at the concession stand because she couldn’t get time off from work, according to MyFOXBoston.
Dave Brouillette, head of the Freetown Youth Athletic Association, told MyFOXBoston that the concession revenues are necessary to fund the league’s programs and that he has to enforce the rules, which require parents show up for their assigned concession stand shifts or risk suspensions for their children.
Brouillette told the station that he wasn’t able to see his own son play because he had to cover the concession stand shift for Hooper, according to MyFOXBoston.
