A Virginia youth soccer team about 45 minutes south of Richmond could have its season scrapped due to a dispute over its jerseys.
The team’s coach (ages 7-9) had a Bible verse printed on the back of the jerseys.
The move was brought to the attention of the Prince George County Parks and Recreation Department, which operates the league. Officials then reportedly told the coach his team would be barred from competition if it wore the jerseys.
The league’s first round of games was postponed last weekend due to a local parade, leaving the situation in a stalemate. It is unclear what will happen next.
