  • 7 years ago
A New Jersey CYO basketball team made up of 5th grade boys and girls was asked to kick the girls off their team or forfeit the season.

They chose forfeit.

NJ.com detailed the story of the St. John's 5th grade basketball team after the league's director handed down the ruling that a coed basketball team was not allowed in the boys league. The players' parents explained the league's decision to the team, but they said they'd rather forfeit than kick off their teammates.
