The reason the team drafting was illegal is because the team must be made up of kids within a certain area in Chicago and most of the players were not drafted from there. Also since the team is made up of all black children, they are accusing the league of racism and not cheating. the team had 7 trophies taken away from them and that includes regional, sectional, state, and national championships and more.
ANALYSIS:
I think the league officials are not being fair.The parents should be penalized instead of the kids because its not the kids fault that they were accepted on the team, they were just playing their hardest. I also believe that the runner up team should be granted a first place trophy, but allow the Jackie Robinson west team to keep theirs as well.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS/FUTURE RESEARCH:
1) Do you think this is the fault of bad role models in the pro leagues?
2) Will kids even younger start cheating?
3) How should we fix these cheating problems?
