CHICAGO (AP) Little League International has stripped Chicago's Jackie Robinson West of its national title after finding the team falsified its boundary map.
The league made the announcement Wednesday morning, saying the Chicago team violated regulations by placing players on the team who didn't qualify because they lived outside the team's boundaries. Little League International also suspended Jackie Robinson West manager Darold Butler from league activity.

Wait, I thought that Little League Championship was under Chicago rules...
I’d say poor kids, but really unless one of them runs for office someday, they’ll be able to put down being on the champion team. So the team won’t be able to display the banner, big whoop.
All of this should have been checked out before regionals.

Yes, they should have switched the little guy in front of the Mooch with the #15 kid blocking out the kid behind him, then tell #15 to stand on his tip toes. That would have been a big improvement.

Trending on twitter. Amazing comments by some people - basically saying it should be ok to break the rules if you’re black.

Wonder why the 9th player was hiding. Or did they win with only 8. Or was Obama or his wife #9?

The only reason those kids are in the Nonwhite House is that they’re black.

the front row should have taken a knee, the tall kids. You know the 18 year-olds who passed for 13.

It is my understanding you could use any team pick from the last decade or more.

She was set to be out of there in 2013 (and have ‘earned’ a lifetime right to bitching about the racism in this country that removed her husband from office). She was surprised as anyone (and she should’ve had accurate poll numbers) when Obama was re-elected (with some possibly stolen votes).
