Description: Brighton Township's youth football teams have been kicked out of the playoffs after an eligibility issue involving one player. The anger isn't over the rules, rather over who should be held responsible, because the consequences don't stop with the player or even his team — they extend to kids who had absolutely nothing to do with this. KDKA's Shelley Bortz reports.
