(London.CityRegions.com, May 24, 2013 ) Cheshire, UK -- An East York minor softball league has enacted an accessories ban which includes the league’s own wristband, after a parent complained that her son wasn’t allowed to wear his cancer awareness bracelet on the field.
The decision was made Friday at a meeting after Jennifer Schywalsky complained to The Star about what she regarded as a double standard when her son was told he could not wear a yellow cancer awareness bracelet, while the rest of the league was allowed to wear similar bracelets, special one-time creations to commemorate the 40th season at Topham park that were given to all 600 members.
League president Susan Osborne said at the meeting that the executives made an error in judgement and shouldn’t have allowed the bracelets for the anniversary to be worn while Schywalsky’s 9-year-old son, Robbie, was not allowed to wear his. The accessories ban now extend to any and all accessories during games and practices, including those that the league made themselves. Osborne said they misinterpreted a jewelry set by Softball Canada, the organization that the league operates under.
Schywalsky said she was satisfied with the decision. Of course, she would like it if they could all wear their wristbands, but she didn’t like the double standard. Robbie’s father has been battling chronic lymphocytic leukemia since 2005, has been too ill to attend his son’s games this season.
