Direct result of travel ball (i.e. daddy ball).

Sounds like he didn't want to participate in a team activity (fund raiser) so the coach allowed him to not participate in another team activity.

Typical baby boomer parents wanting everyone to cater to their special little angel.

Good for that attorney for bilking them for the money, though.

Getting paid 150k to sit on bench in sporting events?
Now I know where posters on the OT got their big bucks.

I really hope a judge throws the book at this lawsuit. Then turns around and fines this vagina for burdening the legal system because of his inability to hit an off speed pitch.

This lawsuit is retarded. The dad should have just STFU

quote:

The beginning of the farrago between the two Lopezes, who are not related, came when Robbie Lopez’s father, Robert Lopez II, complained that Lopez the coach had barred his son from action after the father complained about a perceived double standard between players who took part in a fundraiser baseball game and those who refused.
