A Pennsylvania high school hockey player was taunted by opposing fans with a sign prompting her to 'reveal' her gender and chants calling her a 'dude' during a championship game.
Alyssa, who scored two goals during the game, said she wants an apology from the people who were responsible for the sign.
Parkland Ice Hockey President Mike Byelick stepped down from his position in the wake of the incident and said the team did not condone the sign,Rob Bilger, Parkland Ice Hockey's acting president, told NBC News he agreed with Byelick that the team does not condone bullying and that he has reached out to the Wruble family to personally apologize.
"There were so many hurtful things being said by both sides, it's sickening," Bilger said."Bullying is out of control, but instead of working together to eliminate it, people on Facebook are using bullying to address bullying."
