If it's about the boundaries then that team should have abided by it. It's that simple. Not to JJ though, it's about racism. Man, I'm tired of this racism crap. Every time the black community gets screwed because of cheating, corruption, etc. it's about racism. It's time that they owned up to it and realize that it's not about racism but about cheating and changing the system to their likes.

This to me is like trying to change the Bible to suit your wants. Then complaining because they are admonished for it. When did the cliche "play by the rules" change to "whatever floats our boat." Blacks should be ashamed of themselves for using the racism crap. It's gone overboard.

DING DING DING!!!!


I just wish everyone else would get fed up with it and push back. Hell, blacks can't even get questioned about a crime when they fit the description without screaming racism. That's absolutely f*cking pathetic that we've reached a point like this.

REALLY? That's the issue? Come on.. the kids just want to play somewhere...

The rule wouldn't be there if LLI didn't think it was important. JR West got caught Gerrymanding their district. It sucks for the kids but they were screwed by the adults.

Yeah but the whole point is that if they weren't "recruited" from from areas outside of their little region then they wouldn't have won the championship. There is a private school in Shreveport, La (Evangel) that was busted for recruiting high school players. They were rolling into their 4th or 5th undefeated season and ended up forfeiting every single one of those games they'd won. And every championship.

So, you play with what you've got and those are the rules. The adults were childish to tattle on this team, but cheating is cheating. And JJ needs to STFU, there have been tons of teams with white kids that got shut down for cheating, this isn't racist.

Eh, you have a point but even at that age kids know the deal. They knew the minute these kids came to the first practice that they weren't supposed to be there and neither they nor their parents made a big deal about it. By remaining silent they are just as complicit as the ones who brought the ineligible kids in.

Know why they stayed silent?

Because their very first thought was that if they got busted, how could they lose? They've got a team of ALL black kids which is more of a protective barrier than anything. However, to their dismay, nobody is listening to the cries of racism.

My baseball team had three black guys on it. I remember when we played a team called Ewell Park, they were all black... I remember playing third and got overthrown and their team started laughing at me, saying "white boys can't jump." I laughed back while I said "yeah yeah yeah." It was funny. Especially when we beat them by the 10 run rule.

Point is, they didn't recruit, they used the players inside their area like they're supposed to. My other point is, I didn't really have much of a point but that story was funny if you could have been there.

But the sport's governing body, Little League International, announced that team officials had changed the boundaries that determine where players must live. And after learning that their scheme had been exposed, they scrambled to convince surrounding leagues to go along with what they had done.

........................


The organization suspended the manager, Darold Butler, and suspended the team from Little League tournament play until the local league's president and treasurer have been replaced. A district official who is believed to have helped change the boundaries was also removed.

All of the team's victories were thrown out, meaning that the wins will be awarded to other teams. Mountain Ridge Little League, the team from Las Vegas that lost to Jackie Robinson West in the national championship game will be awarded the title.

..............................


Venisa Green said the move was especially disheartening because the team was part of efforts to keep children safe and prepare them for college in a community better known for gangs and drugs than any kind of achievement.

"What would you have us do, Little League, for them to be killed on the streets of Chicago?" she asked.

She wondered if the fact that the players were black had any role in the ruling, something that the Rev. Jesse Jackson and others questioned as well.

"Is this about boundaries or race?" Jackson asked.

We shall see what comes of this. They have admitted the boundaries changed. What we don't know if it was legit or not. All we have is 2 sides arguing. I honestly think it is abot both race AND boundaries.
