Glenwood Cougars football league suspended for 13-year-old player who tested into 10th grade
Too smart to play? He's the same age as his teammates, but his high academic abilities have cost his team a shot at the playoffs.

It is an age-level football league with a grade-level limitation? So, a kid outside the box cannot play? Sad!That just pisses me off! There is an age limit for reason, physical development. No rule is ever going to be 100% fair, but this one just seems ridiculous and has no point!
They are punishing this young man for his academic achievements!
I feel sorry for the kids caught up in this. Too bad. Hope the rule is revised.
