Seems to me that the upshot of the “Little League Team Busted” story is not that it is wrong if you get caught, but that it is wrong to catch someone and point it out. There’s a lot of this these days. Bryan Williams story...New England Patriots story...
You cheated. You got caught. You got punished.
So, now what do you do to make it right for future players coming out of that league? Were the coaches fired? They should be grateful that the team wasn’t suspended from future tournaments.
I would have given them the death penalty and not allowed the LL to ever go to Williamsport again.
