Jesse Jackson threatens lawsuit in Little League World Series scandal

Rev. Jesse Jackson, the polarizing civil rights activist, is calling for Little League International to return the U.S. championship to the 12-year-olds from Jackie Robinson West, mere hours after Little League stripped the team of its title.

And if that doesn't happen, Jackson said Wednesday afternoon, he may take legal action.

Jackie Robinson West — consumed in a vortex of allegations involving ineligible players and illegally redrawing its league boundaries — became a feel-good story in Chicago and across the country on its run to the Little League World Series. An all-black team that was supported by MLB players, Jackie Robinson West became U.S. champions before losing to South Korea in the international title game. Afterward, the kids from Chicago were celebrated from the World Series to the White House.

Just the ambulance race baiter he is. If it was the other way around and say a lilly white team did the cheating he would threaten to sue of International Little League did not strip the title. The infamous heretic Catholic Priest Michael Pfleger claims the whistle blower should of kept his pie hole shut. Way to speak power to truth there Father Pfleger.

Sue and be damned.

Gerrymandering comes to Little League.

I suspect Fr Pfleger won’t be needing a coat in his afterlife.

Wait, what? Yahoo actually called Jesse Jackson polarizing?

Good thing they weren’t playing Ukraine.

Have to sue Putin for redrawing boundaries.

I’m at a loss as to how Jesse Jackson suffered damages in the LLWS scandal.

Ever the advocate in search of a cause. (Eyes rolling)

[petercooper]

At least they lost to the South Koreans.

Maybe he bet on them?

Rev. Jesse Jackson, the polarizing civil rights activist,

The clearest sign that the rev'rund is on the outs with the administration. The MSM would not call a black leader "polarizing" if he was buds with Bamster.

JJs biological father is Noah Robinson (MO’s uncle). Lying and cheating are a way of life. (cousin Noah JR is serving life — family-lack of values)

[TexasCajun]

Mo'ne Davis wonders why Jesse isn't supporting her Philadelphia team?

[Lake Living]

Loved this line, “Jackson —the latest adult trying to make this story about him — expressed his dismay at the decision, telling the Chicago Sun Times that it drove him to tears.”

At least someone at Yahoo has some guts.

Race baiting pos.

First off how does the team feel after getting beat by the koreans. At our own game. Now you’re cheaters and losers. Good job kids you were taught well.
losers.

[majormaturity]

After all, wasn’t it the beloved “reverend” Jesse that commented during the 2008 campaign that they should cut off Obama’s nuts?

[longfellow]

Oh and if it was jesse that was shot we would celebrate james earl ray day.

Parents cheat. Kids get punished. Guess it really isn’t about the children.
