Not sure if this was posted already.....sucks for those kids. They played hard. Unfortunately, stuff like this always happens. It happens all the way through high school.

They planned to join together before the end of their last seasons in with their original team. This colusion is against the assoc's rules. Pat Riley was ever charged with tampering.ernest_t_bass;1705093 wrote:How'd the Heat cheat?
Riley even has a history of tampering.

The team was given $165,000 in donations. Expect to see some fraud charges being levied soon.

So sad!!! When I was coaching LL, the maps were created by the district. District 4 out of Stark County NEVER would let this happen!!!

I did get a good laugh at that Jesse Jackson rally yesterday. Saying that it was because of race, not that the team cheated, as to why they were stripped of the title.
Also lol'd hard at "what is the motivation of the Nevada team having monkeys in their backpacks?" And then the NPR lady following that with "those are rally monkeys that are popular in little league tournaments that the Nevada kids had the entire tournament"
Lol I don't want to live in this country anymore

Yawn. Stripping a team of wins/titles.....does it really mean anything? I dont think so...they still won the games and it is not like this was caught on time and they did not get the opportunity to keep playing.
Jesse Jackson...was a fucking tool

It doesn't really mean anything. Ohio State still won the Sugar Bowl against Arkansas even though the win was 'vacated'.thavoice;1705268 wrote:Yawn.

It's funny I've read numerous comments that this is because the white man doesn't want to see black kids succeed. Yet professional sports are dominated by blacks. Oh and the funny comments on how blacks can't be racist because they are minorities.4cards;1705310 wrote:...Jesse Jackson is an idiot & a racist!
