It's similar to the JRW situation. In a lot of peoples eyes, it doesn't matter that the coaches cheated, that's secondary. What matters is their skin color.

Exactly.

What people 'hear' can be really far from the truth.

And, what someone 'hears' usually can't be backed up by facts. Kind of like when someone says "I read it on the internet".

All of a sudden there is an issue when there is a championship.

Wrong is wrong regardless of what happens. Do what's right and there won't be problems.

There definitely needs to be detailed investigation before the team gives up their championship. I don't believe Little League Baseball is racist! There seems to be someone who is not happy about their win. I've heard there was a Black team who jumped on the case against the team. Is it all about race? No. Is there a racist element or motive? I don't know but there is a possibility. Is this bringing racists out of the closet and raging up racists media? Definitely!

Anyone that would come up with a fake birth cert just so their kid could play LL is just an old fashioned idiot. LL has required 3 forms of id for as long as I can remember.

He was accused of racism yet is married to a black woman!!! They basically are saying they are exempt from the rules and punishment because they are black, BS. The race card has been overused, predicatable, and worn out.

Everytime I hear a white person cry about racism I want to puke.

Every time I hear someone say there are no black racists, I want to projectile vomit.

Now you know how white (and non-race baiting black people) feel everything Jesse or Rev Al opens their pie hole.

If true, the whole 'racist' angle sort of gets debunked.

Not true. Just because he has a Black wife doesn't mean that he is not racist.

I knew a Black guy who dated a White lady and hated White men. Just because the coach from Evergreen Park has a Black wife doesn't mean that he isn't racist. I don't know if he has a racial motive before I learned he has a Black wife. He could be angry or feel inadequate as a coach because JRW beat the socks off his team with no racial bias involved. I have to wait until I get the factual stuff to make a judgment. Information in the news and social media is garbage.

Your entire position seems to be the AA team was looked at more closely than the white teams so that is racist. This is nonsense, the white Georgia team example is a good one. And again there was a smoking gun in the case of the Chicago team in the form of the parents who gave away the dirty little secret. There was no smoking gun for the other teams so there was no reason to conduct an investigation

Whites created the market for the Jesse's and Al's of the world with their insane hatred and prejudice for black people. It's your own fault. When your living it up on 'white privilege' there's no reason to complain about anything race-related.

Dave this is my last time addressing you and your situation with me pulling the race card. I can't say it was racist. I do believe there is that possibility. I don't know the coach from Evergreen Park and don't have enough information about the situation to come to that conclusion.
