Evidently, rules no longer apply to Black people.
They cheated, they got caught and they deserved the punishment! As His Arrogance is so apt to ordain: “We have a teaching moment here”!
I see Jesse is carrying around his butt boy Fleager with him these days.
Jesse and Pflger...talk about a pair to draw to.
“Bug Eyed Monster”.
There was another one used back then that also fits him to a tee, it starts with N................NO not that one, it's Nincompoop!
No they don’t all do it. And Little League is quite strict in the enforcement of rules.
The rule with teams of this caliber is that they don’t play together as a team before the tournament.
LL disqualified a team in Miami that broke that rule:

“Ricky Rivera tells the story like a fisherman recalling the time he battled the big catch and lost, chuckling without shame at the doomed mismatch.
His is the tale of the bionic 12-year-old baseball players.
Last month, local Little League All-Star teams began competing in the worldwide, two-month tournament that would determine the teams to play in the national Little League World Series, which begins August 15. For their playoff opener, Rivera’s Homestead All-Stars faced the Kendall-Hammocks Optimist (KHO) league All-Stars.
Whatever hopes Rivera’s 12-year-old players harbored for making it all the way to the nationally televised tournament in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, were dashed by the first inning.
The first six Kendall batters deposited the Homestead pitcher’s offerings cleanly beyond the 200-foot home-run fence. The next inning, those same hitters switched to left-handed and smashed six more home runs. Kendall coach Nestor Miranda was using Rivera’s ace pitcher for batting practice.
But hitting, it turns out, wasn’t KHO’s specialty — pitching was. At an age when most pitchers clock 40-mile-per-hour fastballs, Miranda had six starters who could easily throw 70.
Rivera’s players couldn’t manage a foul tip. By the third inning, with Kendall winning 20-0, the scoreboard operator mercifully took the rest of the night off.”.........................
This Team Miami made JRW look like beginners.
These were the best kids from all over the USA, South America, and the Caribbean, all flown in for the express purpose of winning the LLWS and they would have done so, hands down.
They were disqualified for playing together as a team for a season before the tournament, the team that goes is supposed to be assembled from the best of the kids on each team in a league.
JRW is accused of bringing in some kids from outside the league, but not from outside the state, or country.
They also did not play together as a team before the tournament.
Furthermore, FOREIGN TEAMS are allowed to bring in kids from a wide geographical area and ARE NOT held to the same standards as American teams.
LLWS has screwed the pooch this time.
Jackie Robinson would not have done it.
They do not all do it, especially white teams. Why you might ask. In a typical white town, if the LL coach brought in ringers to replace other kids from the town, the parents in the typical white town would have the coaches head on a pike. Reality tells you that a LL program could only get away with this for this long in a community where the parents are totally disengaged from their kids lives. The kid from the neighborhood who got cut and replaced by the ringer from the suburbs went back to his drugged out single mother with a new dude in her bed every weekend, that kid was not getting any support from mom. Mom wasn’t going to complain to anyone, why, she couldn’t careless, it would be too much bother for her.
Racist? .....What’s the racial makeup of the Las Vegas team, that initially was cheated out of the championship by the JRW team adults from Chicago?
What a stupid idiot.
What color is the majority of members on the team who turned this bunch in to Little League HQ?
It was a neighboring LL team, was it not?
