That doesn't mean they're treating them badly though, that just means they might not agree with their politics. Pretty absurd premise that blacks have to vote for other blacks regardless of their politics. And you know Thomas wasn't elected, right?

Yes SCOTUS Justices are appointed. Are you telling me that Black folk wrap their arms around these gentlemen and applaud their individual accomplishments OR do they separate from them and refer to them as UNCLE TOM's!?

Drop the racist part, it's not like the kids had much control in this so why take their title. Now barring the coach from Little League for a few years definitely an appropriate punishment.

On a scale from 0% to 100%, what do you think is the likelihood that the kids knew what was going on and knew it was illegal.

100%

Just like their parents. The apple doesn't typically fall too far from the tree.

Now how do you think kids from rule abiding the teams feel? What part of the Little League Pledge do you not get?

A friend of mine had a son on a baseball team of 12 year olds that played for the national championship in Colorado several years ago. When they got to the championship game, they played an Hispanic team from California. Every one of those kids from California was over 6 feet tall, had mustaches, and spoke with a deep voice. They didn't appear to be 12 years old.

The Texas kids lost, but it was a close game.

Hispanic kids get hair sooner than white kids and the hair is darker.

If I didn't know better I'd say you were stereotyping.

The ones recruited from outside the district probably 95%, those from the district probably 50/50 they knew the rules were being broken.

Gangster mayor Rahm Emmanuel plans to give them rings; set to teach that cheating is okay. Is it any wonder that his city is a bankrupt, third world cesspool?

I can't say I am surprised that Rohm would do something stupid in the face of it all.

Cheating gets you Super Bowls, Final Fours, (in the case of my high school class) the valedictorian designation, National championships, Olympic gold medals, success in business, all the way up to the White House.

Cheating is alright. The moral of success stories is to not get caught.

What makes you say that? Would your kids know if the situation were similar?

Disgraceful of the coach and parents!

Yes!

and the post above proved it. It happened before which is EXACTLY what I posted.

I'm starting to lose respect for you. You really are starting to look like you just have an agenda and don't care about what is true.

One of the football organizations in our county was famous for having kids way bigger than anybody else year after year. Their skill position guys usually were bigger than anybody else's linemen. Everybody complained but the county recreation commission wouldn't investigate because they were afraid of being called racist.

Then one game one of these huge kids hurts the wrong kid on another team. Both mom and dad were respected lawyers and threatened a lawsuit if something wasn't done about this organization. Lo and behold the county investigates and not only were the kids they were playing too old, some of then were as much as five years too old for the level they should have been playing. The county cleaned house of organizational leadership and coaches and took control of the organization for two seasons. All of a sudden their teams didn't look all that much different than anybody else's and they quit being the invincible juggernaut they used to be.

While that sucks, and I'm not defending the cheating team, the other teams with the smaller and younger players probably became better at the game by going up against bigger and better kids.

I remember during my senior year our coach was telling the best player on our team that he still wanted him to play after he graduated but he never did.

The scandal surrounding the Jackie Robinson West little league baseball team has given way to threats of legal action from the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Yahoo! Sports reports that Jackson is calling for Little League International to return the U.S. World Series championship to the 12-year-old members of the team after the team was stripped of its title. If the league doesn’t comply, Jackson stated Wednesday that he may bring a lawsuit.

I gauranDAMNtee you that kids on teams prior had kids outside their borders but since it was a team compromised of blacks they have the title stripped. Honestly. This is bs.

Yes, I can say without a scintilla of doubt that this could happen to a team of white kids.

When you excel and win at sports you are more likely to be put under a microscope even if you aren't doing any cheating that most everyone else is doing. That's the reason it's only baseball's biggest stars that get all the flak from steroids and why Lance Armstrong is the main person taking heat for doping in cycling.

Not everything bad that happens to black people is because of racial malice, you know.

Look at Clarence Thomas, Dr. Ben Carson, Alan Keyes, Herman Cain. All very successful African American men and look how they are treated by the Black Community as a whole!

How were they treated by the black community as a whole?

They're called uncle toms and claimed to be a sellout to their own race. It's ridiculous.
