Return to Story IndexI MIDGET FOOTBALL RACISM
A SETTLEMENT COULD BE COMING. LAWYERS REPRESENTING THE MIDWESTERN AND WESTERN GENERALS MET FOR SEVERAL HOURS WITH ATTORNEYS WORKING WITH THE MOUNTAIN STATE ELITE AND KANAWHA VALLEY YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUES. THE TEAMS ALLEGED THEY WERE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BY NOT RECEIVING FULL MEMBERSHIP IN THE LEAGUES, WHICH WOULD ALLOW THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN THE POST-SEASON. THE TEAMS ARE PREDOMINANTLY AFRICAN AMERICAN. HOWEVER, AN AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED IN PRINCIPLE WHICH WOULD MAKE THE TEAMS FULL MEMBERS OF THE KANAWHA VALLEY GROUP. Kenneth Hale/Western Generals: I think we actually came to terms that were reasonable for all involved. Children will be playing football in inter-league play and I think that was the bottom line goal is to get our youth involved in youth sports particularly on the west side. They will be engaged in a full season. LAWYERS ON BOTH SIDES SAY THEY HOPE TO HAVE ALL OF THE ISSUES HAMMERED OUT IN A FORMAL AGREEMENT BEFORE THE START OF THE SEASON IN MID-AUGUST
