I've gotten credit cards students loans and a damn driver's license with less scrutiny.

this is complete BS.

I want someone to go back and start reviewing the OTHER teams...

and I want to know WHY Chris felt it necessary to ONLY investigate them?

And why wasn't all this info confirmed BEFORE they were allowed to play?

The red flag was first raised by Chris Janes, vice president of the Evergreen Park Athletic Association, another South Side league.

"We even went through public records, voter registration, vehicle registration. We pulled up everything to the point we were satisfied making the accusation," Janes said. ​

Simple. When they started kicking everybody's ass more people started watching. that meant more exposure in more revenue for Little League baseball.

Like I said fuck Little League baseball. These kids had the experience of a lifetime. They got to be on TV. They got to meet the president. No one will ever take that away from them.

Fam u know what it is already and for little league to strict Jackie Robonson team of the title and give it to a team who clearly lost that game is some fuck shit

If u gonna vacate a teams wins and title then don't give the title to anyone.. Those teams lost straight up on the field..

But your right if you gonna investigate one team and can't explain what raised your suspicion then investigate all teams

That's the thing they got disqualified because 3 kids lived down the block

They couldn't find one advantage that team had on in game play none... They beat the shit out of those cacs straight up..

 

[BGLR1212000]

On second review the coaches broke the rules so they gave the cacs a legit claim. I hate it for the kids.

What compelled them to investigate the Jackie Robinson team? What was their PC?

Bet they never once questioned other little league power house teams lead by cacs.

Anything great black folk achieve is met with doubt by cacs but all achieved through cheating by cacs is met with given the benefit.

Officials from the Little League International will meet Tuesday to discuss an investigation into Chicago’s championship Little League Team Jackie Robinson West after allegations the team violated rules by adding top suburban players. (Published Tuesday, Feb 10, 2015)

Chicago's Jackie Robinson Little League team on Wednesday morning was reportedly stripped of its national Little League World Series national championship title amid allegations the South Side team added top suburban players in violation of residency rules.
The report, first published by ESPN's SportsCenter, said the national title would be handed to the Mountain Ridge Little League team of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Spokesman: JRW Residency Issue "Closed"
Reached by NBC*Chicago, Mountain Ridge officials said they had only heard of the report and were making calls to team officials.
Citing "new information," Little League International officials met Tuesday to discuss if the allegations had any merit and what should be done about them.

Late last year, the organization said it was confident that there were no violations of residency regulations after investigating allegations made by an official from a suburban Chicago league that some of Jackie Robinson West's players live in suburbs with already-established Little League teams. It said it would the investigation if necessary.
On Tuesday, Little League International spokesman Brian McClintock said the organization had received "new information" that prompted further review of the allegations. He would not elaborate.

Jackie Robinson West officials did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday but league officials have denied the team violated any residency rules, and that none of the players was recruited. The allegations were first reported by DNAinfo.com.

While he agreed the Jackie Robinson West team should lose its title if the team broke the rules, the Las Vegas coach, Ashton Cave, said that rather than award his team the championship, Little League International could send a more powerful and lasting message by simply leaving the space blank where the championship team is listed.
The stirring run to the Little League World Series by the all-black team captured national attention and united Chicago, which remains one of the nation's most segregated cities. The Cubs watched JRW play during a rain delay and cheered them on while Mayor Rahm Emanuel organized all-city watch parties. The Rev.

I just sad lady night on the news they said they were going to investigate allegations of cheating because all the kids didn't live in Chicago that some were from the suburbs.

They claim to investigate all the teams. I don't know how true that is, but you know how youth sports are. It's very grimy.

Isn't the suburbs of Chicago cook county? I mean the kids still live in the state of Illinois..

Cacs are some clowns for real

 

[threau]

They can vacant the title but they can't take the memories that group got to live

 

[Blaq]

Just saw this on ESPN Chicago. Like ya'll mentioned, I want to know how this investigation came about.

 

[playahaitian]

trust SOMEONE is gonna investigate those other teams...watch.

those Chi-town dudes don't play.

 

[xxironxx]

Little league baseball is where i got my 1st lesson in racism. So i know how the kids feel

 

[Upgrade Dave]

On second review the coaches broke the rules so they gave the cacs a legit claim. I hate it for the kids.

This isn't Little League's fault, it's the fault of the parents and coaches.
Is it new that Black people would be under extra scrutiny? Hell no. So what made them think they could get away with it?

 

[stretchwallz]

These CACs recruit black inner city athletes to suburb HS to win championships and no one investigates !

WTF they even made a movie "Hoop Dreams" about the shit.... They spent more resources on little league baseball than they did on Penn State

Looking at News One Now this morning Roland Martin said that one of the teams they beat 43-2 or something like that started bitching and complaining.

This is the thing I don't get
So do the kids have to give back their trophies?
Every championship or award that I have ever heard of being stripped ends up being vacated and not awarded to the team that lost.
Anyone who can't see that this is some spiteful payback by all the other teams they beat in a "white" sport needs to get their heads out of their asses.

I've always found that interesting.

They talk about how menacing black males look. Clutching pursues, looking doors, and just acting all scared...

...but when one of those motherfuckers can help them win, these CACs will go into the hoods to recruit. They'll even let these motherfuckers live in their houses.

But, its for their benefit then?

But, thats the game.

This is article is from December:

CHICAGO (CBS) – A rival Little League team wants the Jackie Robinson West All-Stars stripped of their national title, claiming the team blatantly violated residency rules to recruit “ringers” who don’t live within the team’s established boundaries.

The Evergreen Park Athletic Association asked the international Little League to investigate JRW for residency violations, and EPAA Vice President Chris Janes said he wasn’t satisfied with the league’s finding no wrongdoing by Jackie Robinson West.

Janes claimed at least three JRW players were ineligible, because they lived in the suburbs, outside the Jackie Robinson boundaries. He said the Little League investigation did not answer specific allegations about specific players living in the suburbs.

Janes said, if JRW leaders recruited players from outside the team boundaries, the team should forfeit its national title.

“If the team’s comprised of players that shouldn’t have been on there in the first place, then absolutely,” he said. “Little League has very specific rules. Those rules need to be followed. If they’re not, there’s consequences, and Little League outlines those in their rules. If Jackie Robinson broke these rules, they need to be held accountable.”


The allegations were first reported by DNAinfo Chicago, which noted U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly congratulated JRW players who live in suburbs within her Congressional district. DNAinfo also reported South Holland village officials congratulated two players as “alumni” and Sports Illustrated reported one player attended school in Homewood, among other apparent evidence that some players lived outside the Jackie Robinson boundaries.

Jackie Robinson West has insisted it did not recruit players, and did not break the league’s residency rules.

Little League International issued a statement that says in part: “Little League International is confident that the documentation provided to the organization from Jackie Robinson West Little League meets the residency regulations for the 2014 Little League Baseball tournament season.”

After two reviews, Little League International says they consider the issue closed.

JRW crushed the EPAA Little League team 43-2 when they played in the sectional playoffs. JRW went on to win the U.S. championship in the Little League World Series.

Janes said Little League officials depend on the volunteers who run the teams to be honest about where players live, but he believes that wasn’t the case with Jackie Robinson West.

“If you’ve been found to have broken the rules after the fact, then you have to undo it. Our problem is, what does that do for the teams that Jackie Robinson beat to get there? How many teams lost the opportunity to play on TV, to get a chance at the World Series, because they were beat by a team who didn’t follow the rules?” Janes said.

Janes said, if a team is not held accountable for violating residency rules to recruit ringers, other teams will follow suit.

“The cascading effect that has on little organizations like mine – or ours, EPAA – it could be really detrimental,” he said. “Less and less kids will be participating in the league they should be, because in their minds, they’ll be able to go wherever they’d like to, because you’re not following the rules relative to boundaries.”

He said it’s clearly not the JRW players who are at fault if the rules were broken.

“I cannot in any circumstance imagine a group of … 11- or 12-year-old kids sitting in a room, saying, ‘Let’s come up with a plan to create our own team. This was obviously done by the parents; the parents, the coaches, and members of that organization.”

Venisa Green, the mother of Jackie Robinson West player, Brandon Green, questions why a story alleging the team broke residency rules, is surfacing now.

“Why would Mr. Janes, if it was not class and race, want to taint something that has been good for the entire nation,” she said. “We had to provide birth certificates, proof of schools, light bills, so we had to prove our residency in order to join the team.”

“This is a Little League issue,” Janes said. “Shame on anybody that tries to mix race and that card, with what we’re talking about today.”


Jackie Robinson West Stripped Of National Title
Little League Internationals officials reportedly have stripped Chicago’s Jackie Robinson West team of its national title from last summer’s Little League World Series, for allegedly adding top suburban players in violation of residency rules.

So it seems it took 3+ investigations for them to finally strip the title.


We all know what this is.

Muthatfucking cacs!

 

[doggish_098]

they always seems to find shit when black kids play well at the little league world series. the team from harlem a few years back they dug up shit on them.

 

[playahaitian]

So besides the addresses being a few blocks off they were the correct age and there was no illegal substance issues?

So why not fine the team and let them them keep the championship

And hen amend the rule to say if anything like this pops up you forfeit your title...

bet they would NEVER do that though...
