Nothing new here for DiMauro - he's remains a common troll, spewing clickbait to provoke a reaction, negative or positive who cares?, to raise his social media footprint. It works, of course.
This should have remained a private discussion between the girls, their coach, their teammates, their families and friends. Full stop.
All the noise from outside, especially by the toxic lugnut "writing" for "The Day" just serves to artificially inflame. Agree or disagree - irrelevant. We don't know them, except as they appear in the post. There's an entire life story in play here. Decisions are not made in a vacuum.
For me, against a backdrop of social media cascades causing real and sometimes extremely serious emotional damage, especially among kids of that age and younger, that column is appalling. It is disgusting. And it's existence reflects poorly on the editorial staff of "The Day."
