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?
