Thank you for posting this. The article, as written, is quite clearly missing critical details and is biased.
Yeah that was intentional on their part.
Here’s I-9s about page. They explicitly are against this kind of shit in the first place. Parents are supposed to stay out of it because the entire point is providing a fun inclusive environment to get kids out there playing, without the pressure from overbearing parents and coaches. And at least for flag football, they didn’t even keep scores in the first place so there was no point in running up goals.

Everything they were doing was against the rules and purpose of the league. So naturally they were asked to leave. If your kid is so great and the next Ronaldo, go put them in a competitive league. But then they probably wouldn’t be dominating like they were and you wouldn’t have content for your stupid TikTok.
This situation should have been a sketch comedy bit.
