MHSAA says there's no constitutional right to play sports

Posted

The group that oversees Michigan high school sports is firing back in response to a lawsuit filed by a star basketball player who has been benched.

The Michigan High School Athletic Association says there's no constitutional right to play sports.

In a court filing Monday, the association says Thomas Kithier's claim of emotional distress "does not pass the laugh test." Kithier has been barred from playing for defending champion Clarkston after transferring from Dakota for his senior year.
