The fact of the matter is that the owner sees this kid not signing the flag as reflecting badly on the team. If you tarnish the team image you should be sent packing.

What if the coach wanted him to go on TV and say those things and he refused? Kick him off the team?
It swings both ways.
And who decides what reflects badly on the team and who would know he didnt sign it if it were'nt for them making a big stink?
What tarnishes the teams image more than this story making headlines is making it into a big deal, if you ask me thats worse.
