7. This is just not cool
And I hate to believe it, but I am positive that it's all about "how dare black kids represent the best of the little league"
Are they investigating the LA school like they did here?
This just sucks.

21. Bush would have invited them to the WH and Rudy would give them the key to the City
as they did with 15YO Danny Almonte.
''I want to ask for a pardon, especially from President Bush and the American people, on behalf of his legal wife,'' said Marisol MarÃa Inoa Sanchéz de Almonte, Felipe Almonte's second wife. ''Because he's being pursued by the Dominican government, he can't speak for himself.''

What do cheating LLB coaches buy their pitchers for the their 14th birthday?
A: A lip wax and a fake ID.

Apparently somebody has a rather weak grasp of geography.
And a Chicago team...gosh, who'da thunk it...

The first time a group of live Chicagoans win something, and it's taken away.

The Vegas mob took out Harry Reid so he would force this investigation. Some mobster's grandson is on that team.

Last I heard on it the US LL Title was not going to go to the Vegas team. That could have changed though. I actually watched it on TV when they played the Vegas team for the title. That was one great game. If the leading pitcher on the Vegas team had not been hurt I don't think they would have beat them.

Stripped of the title because they used ineligible players. Sounds like blatant cheating to me.
DUmpdonks declare it racist.
I wonder how many black kids are playing for the Vegas team? :confused:
Of course it wouldn't matter to them, it would never be enough.

This makes the story kind of ironic.
This came after Little League International stripped Jackie Robinson West of the title after an investigation revealed it had falsified boundaries to field ineligible players.
The stunning announcement came months after the all-black team, whose ages ranged from 11 to 13 years, captured the attention of the country and the hearts of its hometown. The baseball organization said it also found that after the league had changed the boundaries, some team officials went to surrounding leagues to convince them to go along with what they'd done.

See the irony? They only won because they gerrymandered the boundaries to put the best players in one league. Just like the democrats gerrymander legislative districts to elect minorities. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

The cheating 0bamaites had a press conference to complain about Little League racism and I was really surprised to not spot The Reverend Sharpton behind the mic.
It's his home turf, so The Reverend Jackson was front and center, his rodent brain on overdrive trying to figure a way to run a shakedown on the national Little League.
