Put yourself in the shoes of the kid that was maybe on the A team last year and was placed on the B team this year. He's upset, his parents are upset. The sting is still fresh, and the kid is an emotional wreck. He's embarrassed and humiliated. The parents are doing everything they can just to get the kid through it.
Now, some heartless bastard shares it with the whole world. More salt in the wound than the kid deserves. Just leave it alone.
If you feel like you have to talk about certain players or teams, maybe we can talk about some kid whose always been on a b team, but through hard work and dedication finally made it to the promised land.

Very well said nickel slots. It's one thing to talk about adults that get cut from their pro teams due to age or declining skills its quite another to do it to 10-15 year old kids.
