Did LL DA game the system

[Jimurray]

You have to wonder why the neighboring leagues didn't ask at tournament time why a kid that played with them last year was playing with JRW this year. Maybe everyone was living in a glass house so no stones could be thrown.

I haven't read anywhere anywhere that the problematic players played Little League at all in the previous year. *shrug*

Just guessing.

It saddens me that Jesse Jackson has made an attempt to make this an issue of race, rather than an issue of cheating.

From what I've read elsewhere they did play in "their own" leagues (not in the previous year though) before moving to travel - then to JRW.  They should have been recognized by the "proper" league's personnel.

I hate that Jackie Robinson's name is associated with this whole mess. Man, I wonder what his family thinks about all this.

It is all ok... they were cheating and got caught but now the benevolent leaders of Chicago are going to honor the little 'champions' because they all feel bad that the big bad LL took their title away.

 

Best idea ever:

 

Cheat

Get Caught

Pay a price 

Have someone else in authority tell you that your being singled out because your just children or some other minority

Get a new trophy or honor from local Government group

Learn absolutely no life lesson

Use experiences obtained to further game the system later in life and then cry foul when one day the big bad man actually holds you accountable for your actions.

Repeat
