Local Football Player Quits Team for Wearing Pink Gloves

A local Atlantic County Junior Football League player has quit the team because he was told he could not wear pink gloves to honor his mother who is a breast cancer survivor. 

Julian Connerton, 12 is a Egg Harbor City resident and member of the Egg Harbor City Crusaders football team was told he could not play in the game against the Ocean City Junior Raiders if he wore the pink gloves.
