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?

Zero2Cool (6h) : I guess 3 games. Whatever
Zero2Cool (6h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.
Zero2Cool (6h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.
Mucky Tundra (7h) : Kanata, seek help! lol
beast (9h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status
Zero2Cool (10h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha
TheKanataThrilla (10h) : That was terrible.
TheKanataThrilla (10h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.
beast (10h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent
beast (10h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime
beast (10h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing
Zero2Cool (11h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
Zero2Cool (11h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
beast (12h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management
wpr (14h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Mucky Tundra (21h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago
beast (22h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.
packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it
beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.
Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore
packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!
Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!
beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
