That's not at issue, and frankly should have no bearing on the story at all.

You're welcome to your opinion.
I think it is relevant that this lady and her husband tried to bully a soccer association, including threatening to go to the media and the latter even assaulting a coach for which he was charged. I'm not condemning them for life, it happened four years ago.
But IMO it is contextually relevant.
Did they apologize to the coach that was assaulted? Probably. They seem like decent people who just made a mistake.

I've never defended this kid's actions. Quite the opposite. If you're disturbed, well, then maybe you're just disturbed? Certainly confused. Certainly mistaking my views for something else.
And now I'm accused of being racist for digging into this lady's past. I went to "great lengths", after all. I Googled "Joni Meyer-Crothers soccer coach".
And it turns out, this lady is a good person. She has adopted a number of children in need. I commend her for that.
Not perfect, but who is?
