It's not good to be a member of the Houston Astros these days. In fact, for two Little Leagues based in California, nobody will be a member of the Astros.
The Long Beach Little League and the East Fullerton Little League have both banned the use of "Astros" from their teams this year after the major league team was found to have illegally stolen signs en route to winning the 2017 World Series over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"Parents are disgusted," Long Beach Little League president Steve Klaus told the Orange County Register. "They are disgusted with the Astros and their lack of ownership and accountability. We know there's more to this scandal. What's coming tomorrow? With the Astros, you've got premeditated cheating."
....
The Long Beach Little League is considering a permanent ban of the name after this season.
"Our mission statement has the words 'character' and 'integrity,'" Klaus told the Register. "It's hard to develop integrity and character when you see [cheating] at the top level."
Jesus H Christ. **** Kalifornia. **** the media. **** everybody. With this coverage you would think the Astros were running a child prostitution ring from the dugout while wearing blackface and kicking puppies.
I hope the Astros come out and ass **** everybody this season.
Exactly. This millennial poozy BS right here.......I swear to God, I'm starting to wonder if this whole thing with Dodger fan isn't just manifestation of a huge case of Texas envy. Your state is an absolute lib sh**hole and the 2/3 of your population that hasn't already migrated to Austin knows it.
Look, I get it. The Astros cheated and you're pissed. I don't blame you. I would be too. But the completely overwrought, overdramatic BS in the name of victimization is absolutely laughable. "Guy's careers were ruined. They lost their jobs and went home and committed suicide solely because of the Astros". "We need to be putting 98mph heaters in every single one of their earholes!" Are you effing kidding me? Play the game and kick our ass, now that "everybody is clean". Am I wrong here?
