My favorite football team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, have had a tough first half of the current season. They have won only one of eight games.

Some major personnel changes were needed, and have been made (including the sacking of the head coach).

For example:

A seven year old boy was at the centre of a courtroom drama this morning
when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of the
boy. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge
awarded custody to his aunt.

The boy confirmed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and
refused to live there. When the judge suggested that he live with his
grandparents the boy cried out that they beat him more than anyone. The
judge dramatically allowed the boy to choose who should have custody of
him.

Custody was granted to the Saskatchewan Roughriders this morning as the
boy firmly believes that they are not capable of beating anyone.
