After a little further research (which I should have done the first time I read the thread), I've started to wonder if this actually ever happened. First, it's odd that news of a scandal of this sort would reach Toronto before it made news in the US. First, Clarkston is a suburb of Atlanta that's close enough to almost be considered a part of the city (if it were in Fulton County).
Second, if you read the mayor's page on the city website:
http://www.cityofclarkston.com/Conte...entCT.asp?P=20
you'll see a specific mention of the soccer program, and he seems to take a small measure of pride in it. Granted, he does look like the type to yell at kids to get off his lawn, but I have a feeling that there's a lot more to this story than the Canadians reported (no offense to any Cannucks out there). There also doesn't seem to be any mention of it in the Atlanta press, and they'd usually jump all over something like this.
Just some food for thought.
