Seriously? Then why have boundaries at all? Why not just let every team recruit from as far away as they wish? Why stop at 2 miles, let's extend the cheating zone to 200 miles and really build a powerhouse.

If you're an adult and you have children, I hope you're not teaching them how to take shortcuts in life.

Some of you should find a black friend to teach you these things.
So, you really believe in your heart that OJ was innocent? If so, that explains a lot about your other posts.

We'll live with the truth; others will live knowing they were runner up--owned by an all-black team that probably didn't have access to the resources they did. Sucks to be them, knowing we are better. Changing the goal posts doesn't change the truth. The lesson for these boys is this: they will always change the rules in their favor. You can't beat the house even when you beat the house.

Happy Black History Month to all.
You may want to read the thread then to see why it's obvious how idiotic this comment is. Did you really say "living in the truth" as you defend a cheating team? Wow, internet gold right there. Congrats,

There was very clear evidence in the form of the parent's comments, there was no evidence about the other team. It's not that hard to understand why one team was scrutinized harder than the other. Those crying wolf, I mean racism, have to stop stomping their feet and crying injustice every time something bad happens to an AA, especially when it was self inflicted. Again they are teaching children that it's OK to cheat. The fact that you don't understand this says all I need to know about you.

What's the big deal asked another poster? It's only 2 miles? REALLY? Those extra 2 miles could mean the difference between players hitting .230 and hitting .465. Obviously the upgrade in talent was worth the risk of cheating in this case. Why this needs to be explained is simply amazing.

Stupid has finally hit this thread, surprised it took this long.

No he was not necessarily saying that. He was saying it was nice that a black many finally did not get swallowed up and found guilty by the system that always seems to find the AA guilty and the rich white guy innocent. While I don't agree I can certainly see that viewpoint.

I don't need validation or sympathy from you or your folks.

Al Sharpton? is that you in disguise of Treemoni?

I wish obama were not just half white, but totally white, he would have lost in the elections.

I am sorry that he was elected just for his color of skin.. he is doing a very sucky job. he only got elected because of his skin color.

I hope Hillary does not win 2016 because the low information voters will say "wow our first woman president" notwithstanding that she would be a terrible president.

He doesn't have to. Society will overtly and subtly do it for him, and they will grow up not even realizing how the world is set up to make life easier for them.

Such is the nature of privilege.

It's only a matter of time before the complaints to the moderator shut this thread down. Truth hurts, doesn't it? 15 pages of intolerant/racist nonsense and now everyone wants to get upset. Very, very predictable. Hope your anger is teaching you something about yourself.

Agreed. He was a perfect choice to push a corporatist agenda. All the racists are focusing on his blackness so much that they don't even realize he had done very little to help people that look like him. But all you see is color. You think America would allow him to give "handouts" to blacks? Hilarious! How long have you lived in America?

Also, how on EARTH can you determine that Hillary will be any better or worse than any other candidate who has never held the presidency?? You wear your prejudices very well.

"Low information voter". Just say "black people". It's easier.
