Joel Brodsky file this one as well?

Well he could have meant a few different groups of people. The kids? The parents? ALL the parents?

This is complete bullshit. Parts of that complaint are factually incorrect on their face, many other parts are outright falsehoods. I was mystified by some of the parents who filed this crap and their ridiculous claims about what they did not know or were not told. What's funnier is who they didn't file suit against, especially consider who many of them railed loudest against. However, the funniest/most pathetic thing is that some of the kids on that team were parading around in JRW stuff for the last couple of weeks in preparation for advertising campaigns and in parts in an upcoming movie (from a popular franchise).

And to think that LL International took some heretofore unaffiliated areas of the south side of Chicago and willingly granted a new charter to the family of one of those (really involved) parents. It will bite them in the ass the hardest, I hope.

Their whole argument is.......sure, the team cheated. But they knew before the Championship game VS Japan that we cheated and did not step in and disqualify the team before the Championship match. they let the farce go on, because it made for good theater and ratings they used to get a new TV deal with ESPN. they don't deny they cheated, they just want more money, as I guess all the donations made to the JRW team must have dried up by now.

I understand the merits of the lawsuit and believe they could have success. But the amount of damages to be awarded could become JRW's ultimate undoing. Both parties benefitted from the breach of the agreement, so the question could be on what scale did they benefit and what (if any) harms were suffered? Beyond fighting to dismiss the suit, they next probable recourse would be a "so what, we all benefitted and we all suffered embarrassment. Except for Stephen A. Smith, he is oblivious to embarrassment.

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

In the last week I've seen three of these kids on varsity teams. One's a sophomore and the other two are freshman. Unbelievable

Who fucking cares?

I hope one of the kids was Fuzz. He's going to be much better than his older brother who'll be at Iowa next year. Had no fear stepping in against our 2010 state runner-up team when he was 9.

No one cares anymore about this. Cheaters. Over.

I'm not sure who he is but I think I know who his brother is. Maybe I've seen four. Ha

OMG. Are you saying kids age?

I believe he is saying freshman on a varsity high school team are exceedingly rare.

They played for a world championship. My guess is that they are pretty good.

It is amazing with how competitive the CCL is in baseball that MC was the only one to really go after those kids.

Aside from there and Marian Catholic, "those" kids weren't going to play at many of the other schools. About 6-7 years ago we'd routinely go places & their coaches would whine and ask why none of our kids would go to their schools.

One coach/dad loudly said: "why should we send our kids there, you won't play them" Take your pick which South Side Catholic school that was. It would fit for most back then

I didn't know that this was still going on.

The Jackie Robinson West Little League team once embodied a fairy tale for Chicago youth sports. In 2014, this group of kids from the South Side’s Morgan Park neighborhood won the Little League national championship.

Early the next year, though, Little League stripped the team of its title, revealing that it used ineligible players from outside its boundaries. Players and fans were devastated. The scandal touched off a rash of finger-pointing and lawsuits

Now, six years later, major legal disputes in the matter have been resolved, but the blame game continues.

Little League International announced that it reached a settlement with the players agreeing that their title will not be reinstated.

_________________

Last week, Little League dropped its lawsuit against the team’s coaches, Darold Butler and Jerry Houston. The coaches in turn claimed vindication for their assertions that they didn’t know about the ineligible players.




I am sure they were stunned to find out Ed Howard lived in the south suburbs.
