It would have been helpful if the blogger did a bit of research instead of just quoting a news article and adding his opinion.
The parent wonders if this would have happened if the team was white. Apparently there have been two other times teams were caught cheating. What happend in those cases? Is eligibility something the league always takes seriously? Or do teams always stretch the rules on eligibility but usually no one complains? Probably the former but how would we know without more info, and how would the parent know either.
Instead of just taking our corners and arguing, more facts would help.
I’ve coached LL for some years and have always found their enforement of rules to be to the letter.
I will answer the question the parent asked, no it wouldn’t happen too a white team. Why, because in a white district no LL coach could have got away with this scam. In order to include ringers on a LL team, one must exclude players from the district first. In a white district, the excluded players parents would have sued the team and coach before they could play their first game. You could only get away with this in a district where the parents are disconnected from their kids lives, like the one in question.
