So you are a parent of a child in this league, do you oppose taking the money?

Personally, it might be a bit awkward to explain to the kids where the money came from if asked, but I would have no issue with a business donating the money, no matter the background of the business. They donated the money, didn't ask for the anything in return, so why make a fuss over it at all.


The financially troubled Lennox Little League is returning a $1,200 donation offered to it by a strip club, a day after a Daily Breeze story about the contribution spread to other media outlets across the country.

As word of the donation from the Jet Strip spread Monday, the Lennox league's 12-member board of directors held an emergency meeting that stretched until midnight.

"We kind of looked at the whole situation, and we all feel it's the right thing to do," league President Roberto Aguirre said Tuesday.

But he thanked the Jet Strip and its general manager, James Wallace, for the offer. "He has a great heart, but as a nonprofit Little League, I wouldn't want to do anything to disappoint or upset my parents."

If the kids had to choose between not having jerseys and hats or taking a donation from a strip club, what do you think they would pick? I don't think the kids give a shit where the money comes from. They just want to play ball. Why are we so uptight about this stuff in our culture? Trying to shield kids from sex or even the seedy side of life only makes the forbidden more alluring. The more my parents tried to hide that stuff from me, the more I became determined to find out what the big secret was. My parents wanted me to be the kind of person who didn't even hold hands with a girl until I was married, but I was experimenting with oral sex by the time I was ten. Their tactics completely backfired on them.

But I do have a question upon your post.. if you rebelled so much against your parents wishes.. how come you didn't sneak off to watch TV and sports?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
