Did he suck? If so then he doesn't get to play.
****, I didn't play sports in high school, I wasn't "robbed of an educational experience".

This is the natural progression of what we've been teaching our kids in youth sports throughout this country... Everyone gets to play. Everyone gets a trophy. You bat until you hit the ball. Nobody gets told they're not good enough. What else did people think that was going to lead to?

Is mom representing her kid? I'm asking because I've really got to wonder what kind of lawyer would take this case.
The problem should be simplified.
Keep sports and academics seperate.
athletics are extracurricular activities...
And you aren't allowed to play sports unless you have a C average... at least that is how it was in my day.
A bloodsucking one. I was recently part of a lawsuit at work and I ended up hearing the prosecution lawyers talking privately. They flat out said they didn't give a damn about their clients, they didn't care if they won or lost, they were just there for the money and they were getting paid regardless. Sounds like a pretty typical lawyer to me.
Any lawyer that would take a case like this does give the rest a bad name, yes.I am a lawyer, and I can tell you that we have ethical obligations that frequently prevent us from taking cases that we know have no validity whatsoever. People have really bad impressions about lawyers, and this sort of bull**** is exactly why. However, there are also organizations that sanction lawyers for bringing bad claims. What I'm saying is that whoever took this case is risking his career. Even from an entirely self serving standpoint, that's a bad risk.
I have read that many criminal defense lawyers specifically do NOT even want to know if their client is guilty or not guilty, because if their client confesses to them then they have ethical considerations to consider.
That's because you held yourself accountable. Props to you on that.I was on varsity in four sports... two as a freshman. I was cut from one my junior year when I slacked and made it back senior year. Point is... I never thought of complaining much less sueing...
More proof that if people aren't paid to go to college, they turn into Greedheads trying to make up for a depressing and deprived youth. That's seven years of indentured servitude in order to become a lawyer. This system turns out monsters, but nobody questions it, no matter how much evidence there is of its malignant and self-destructive results.A bloodsucking one.

They should be totally separated from the schools, just like the Little League is. College sports should be replaced by minor leagues. This whole association of learning with extracurriculars is an insult to intelligence.athletics are extracurricular activities...

Sports do not equate to academics. You will not explain to me various sciences, mathematics, historical events, and psychological and philosophical points from your experience kicking a ball. Iirc, there are also "extracurricular" classes in some colleges such as studying "zombie survival," the "science of Harry Potter/Star Trek," etc.athletics are extracurricular activities...
There's a social benefit to incorporating athletics into the schooling experience; namely, students who take part in sports and arts tend to perform better and display better discipline than students who don't. Kind of makes your last sentence look a little silly.
Now you've done it. You have just made an enemy of the Liberals by even thinking, much less mentioning Discipline for children. You even went so far as to suggest the someone can and will perform something better than someone else. How utterly evil it is of you to promote someone accomplishing anything instead of blending in with the crowd.
Next thing you know, you will be suggesting that people have a right to keep what they earn instead of handing it over to the "less fortunate".
I am aware that most people will have enough intelligence to see the sarcasim here, however, for the Liberals, it is sarcasm.
