Youth Basketball Team Kicked Out Of Its League For Being Too Good

[roberth]

Yup, a nation of wimps that'll stand and watch while ISIS rapes their families, then they'll cry for the government never realizing that even the almighty government cannot be everywhere at once.

Way to go democrats, you'll be the first in line for the graveyard when ISIS makes its move, and you democrats will deserve it because you brought it upon yourselves.

Of course a bunch of good guys will die trying to help these pathetic loser dems.

The league obviously has no tolerance for flashing gang signs

Beat me to it.

Around here most leagues have different divisions based on skill level. If a team is dominating in a division they get moved up.

Indeed. Part of me wonders if this is a sandbagging team, and that part went unreported.

Pretty amazing what progressive "thought" has brought to this country.

It started with kids being told their parents hitting them was child abuse.
Throw in the D.A.R.E program. How it's more important knowing how to apply a condom than adding (CORRECTLY) 2+2.
How competitiveness in anything was WRONG, everyone gets a trophy.

ALLOWING ANY educator to preach their beliefs during school hours, YET firing a teacher for working at hooters as that doesn't send the right message to students.
While forgetting they teach one how same sex is acceptable (TO 8TH GRADERS)

On & on. Rome has been burning while educators and legislators argue, over who is better suited to lead it's students and country. Down the Shitter.

I wouldn't think they'd be perceived as dominating if they were sandbagging.

I wouldn't think they'd be perceived as dominating if they were sandbagging.

Meaning, if they really SHOULD be playing a level or 2 up. Basically, travel kids playing the rec. A 4.5 tennis player in the 3.0s. A Cat 2 racing with the 5s. That sort of thing. One or two levels out of place and you can easily dominate.

Yup, in hockey we call it sand-bagging.

We had a team in our league when I was in middle school that recruited the best kids in the city and then played in the lowest level rec league. They were beating teams frequently by 100+ points. It sounds like some of you guys think that would be just fine, and that's really unfortunate.

Now I don't know if this is the case with this team or not, but if it is the case then I don't blame the other coaches for not wanting to play that team. Being a really good team is one thing, but purposefully putting together an all-star team and then playing way below the correct talent level just so you can win by 100 points every game isn't sporting in the least.

And also, since when is that a gang sign?

I'd be disappointed as a player on that team.

In use for at least 40 years to denote an "Eastland" faction of the Crips gang. Almost any hand "signal" is a mark-ation of some sort of delinquent wanna-be's these days. I feel sorry for all the ASL folks (American Sign Language users).
