Attorney Justin Tomevi of the law firm Barley Snyder, representing Covid-19 disqualified teams from Oklahoma and Texas was asked by TalkWilliamsport.com, why are you brining this civil action?
Tomevi replied:
“We have filed this action to seek justice for these players who were wrongfully removed from the tournament.
These children have had their hopes dashed based on disputed test results.
My clients have players and coaches that have been confirmed to be COVID negative and
are prepared to safely reenter the tournament if the court so allows.
Pennsylvania courts have entered similar relief in these athletic disqualifications in the past and
we hope the court here will follow the lead of those other courts.”
TalkWilliamsport.com attempted to reach Little League International for a response, at this writing, a response has not been provided.
