Might as well recruit the best ball players from all around the world to ensure your little league win I guess.
Cheating is a Chicago tradition, so of course he backs their play.
I was wondering when they would get around to playing the race card.
Of course it is racism. If JJackson says it is racism then it is racism because racism is anything that JJackson says is racism because he says it. Look it up in your Politically Correct Webster.
I don’t care what color they are. They’re not champions, they’re cheaters.
It wasn’t racist; rules are rules. When my kids were in Little League 20 or so years ago, each year at registration I had to produce a birth certificate and a current utility bill for our address. There was virtually no chance of a team from our small area going to the national or even state tournaments, but the rules were were enforced locally, and teams were disqualified from local tournaments over kids playing who didn’t live within district boundaries.
That said, I feel sorry for the kids; they probably didn’t know any shenanigans were going on. The parents and coaches who did this should be ashamed of themselves - but instead they’re trying to make it all about race.
Boo hoo. Whining about “racism” falls upon my deaf ears.
I no longer give a sh1t. I am completely desensitized on that subject.
No. Cheating did.
Did Racism Strip Jackie Robinson West of Its Little League Title?
No.
Did they lose the title because of their color, or because they cheated?
They didn't 'earn' anything. You do nothing but discredit them even more by insisting that cheating is honorable.
Did racism against poor disadvantaged blacks make the coaches and other adults responsible for the cheating think they couldn’t win with young folks who lived in the neighborhood? I suspect there are pockets of racism by which successful blacks look down on their less advantaged brethren.
I wonder which side Jessie and Al would be on if some all white team had beaten the Jackie Robinson team by cheating?
No, but racism will return the title back to the team.
Did Racism Strip Jackie Robinson West of Its Little League Title?
Only if it is racist to call out black people when they are lying and cheating. So, yes. According to all the Democrats calling the President and ANY black person out on their lies and cheating is RACIST!
So if Mariano Rivera comes out of retirement, lies about his age and pitches Panama to the LL World Series Championship, they would have “earned it,” Rahm?
Recruiting out of your area has always been a big no-no in Little League.
The decision was correct in all particulars.
Looks like they intentionally recruited an all-black team thinking just having the race card to play would discourage anyone from challenging them. Didn’t work.
I don’t care! I just don’t give a $h!+ one way or the other.
We’re bludgeoned everyday with this crap, and if anything it’s made me callous to their “cause”. I don’t care about “$ocial Ju$tice”, cause if you follow the money, that’s all it’s about. They know that throwing a $ocial tantrum equals money, big screen TV’s, or some other raided loot.
It “terrorism for sale”...a “protection racket.
I’ve listened to, watched it, and lived it since the late 1950’s, and the whole world has been laid out for them...and the more they’re given, the more they want. The bar has been lowered so far, it’s like one of Obama’s infamous “red lines”...you just step over it.
