read the comments on this article, if you have a strong enough stomach.
this is the world we live in, peeps.

me? having kids, kids who played baseball, i know that parents try to get their kids on teams that are a good fit. i dont think for a minute that those parents and kids thought about anything but playing on a team that would be good for those kids. i have no idea what the teams they were supposed to play on were like, but in the world shown in these comments, i would be picky about who my kids played for if i were their parent. lines on a map v a good coach and a good team? yeah, aunt millie is on the right side of the line, we can use her address, hell yeah. i'm there. bfd about your map. bfd about your rules. i am a black mom of a black kid, and i can get them on jrw? i do whatever it takes. you think there werent white kids and parents in that district that did what they had to NOT play on the black kids team?
welcome to chicago.
fuck the maps. i would want my kid on that team. i would use aunt millie's address in a heart beat.
if you think there is something wrong with that, read the comments, and wake up to the world.
