After reading the article “The curious case of James Bodily's recruitment” I was left feeling awful and mad. I do agree that James is an exceptional ball player as I know and have watched him, but the wording of this article was very demeaning and belittling to the other players.

This article could have been written with different wording to portray his talent without making fun of the other players.

I can’t imagine how the parents of the other players feel but me, I am very disappointed in the way ISJ has belittled and portrayed his competition as “laughable.”

They need an apology.
