Umm, MLB has had entire franchises located outside of the US for decades.Funny how when little leadgue does it it's a thing, but when the MLB imports atheletes from foreign countries that's cool. Probably why the NFL is so much more popular, still mostly actual Americans in there.
MLB is a business and their job is to hire and pay the best players available. You can be sure if the NFL ever gained popularity outside of the US they would also hire non-Americans who are better players. In fact, it's the NFL's international unattractiveness and lack of popularity that makes it the only American sport with few or no non-Americans (kickers notwithstanding).Umm, MLB has had entire franchises located outside of the US for decades.Funny how when little leadgue does it it's a thing, but when the MLB imports atheletes from foreign countries that's cool.

When players for a city team like say the Oakland A's have players who can barely speak English, I assume they're recruiting from other countries.
The little league team only snagged players froma neighboring district (however that's defined.) They didn't bring people in from other countries though.
He sure didn't waste any time celebrating this corrupt team. But a lack of vetting seems to be the style of this admin.Trying to tie a little league team to the President for a pot shot is pathetic.
And McGwire is not in the HOF for that reason.Sen. Christopher S. Bond (R) Missouri sponsored a Bill in 1998, transcript follows:
"A resolution (S. Res. 273) recognizing the historic home run record set by Mark McGwire of the St. Louis Cardinals on September 8, 1998...
...I see several colleagues on the floor who want to discuss it, but suffice it to say that Mark McGwire has made a historic contribution to baseball. He has brought the country together. The only thing we are talking about in Missouri is Mark McGwire, not a lot of the other problems. His dedication to leadership and family values, his spirit of community contribution and leadership mark him as an outstanding gentleman who I trust all of us in this body are willing to recognize."

Oops.
Republicans applaud the wrong people too, not just Democrats. But when you're trying to score political points praising professional athetes that's the risk yuo take. Some cheat.
He wouldn't be allowed to even try out for the girls softball team even though that M'onet whatever girl took a boy's spot from the Philadelphia boys little league team. Double standard hypocrisy.It's not President Obama's fault you were rejected from the girl's softball team when you wanted to play sports.It's an all-black team of course. If these kids were white obozo would have them shot.
Little League strips Chicago team of U.S. championship suspends coach - ESPN Chicago

Little League Baseball has stripped the U.S. championship from Chicago-based Jackie Robinson West and suspended its coach for violating a rule prohibiting the use of players who live outside the geographic area that the team represents, it was announced Wednesday.
Jackie Robinson West must vacate wins from the 2014 Little League Baseball International Tournament -- including its Great Lakes Regional and United States championships.
President Barack Obama, who had honored Jackie Robinson West with a White House ceremony, said Wednesday that he continues to be proud of the team and that he blames the problems on "dirty dealing" by adults.
"The president is proud of the way they represented their city and the way they represented the country," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters at a briefing. "The fact is some dirty dealing by some adults doesn't take anything away from the accomplishments of those young men."
That is the most disturbing aspect of this entire episode. Those kids are being taught to cheat and that it's OK if they get away with it.Obozo says the adults did it but that's nonsense. These kids knew each other and where they were from. The kids are crooks too.
on this i agree.....im sure speedos will say the Pres knew all about the "ringers" from the get go....Trying to tie a little league team to the President for a pot shot is pathetic.
there is a difference between a MLB team and a little league team ....in MLB the guys being imported in, is allowed,all the teams can do it....in the LL it aint allowed, you gotta be a kid living in the district of the league.........rules is rules....Funny how when little leadgue does it it's a thing, but when the MLB imports atheletes from foreign countries that's cool. Probably why the NFL is so much more popular, still mostly actual Americans in there.

That is a big advantage if you search out and find ringers from other areas. What a disappointment to the other teams.
It's as old as sports. Very very common and obozo again shows how stupid he is for supporting these cheaters before all the facts were in.

Well, when they don't have anything else....I guess this would look like a big deal to them.Trying to tie a little league team to the President for a pot shot is pathetic.

You got anything else besides being a lunatic? You and your racism gets real old.
This has nothing to with Obama.
