  • Tens of thousands of $$ being bet on South Florida youth football games

    another sign of the apocalypse:

    Gambling, criminal influences surround popular South Florida youth football league


    "An "Outside the Lines" investigation found such [gambling] scenes several times last fall in the South Florida Youth Football League, which is made up of 30,000 children ages 5 to 15 from Palm Beach to Miami. In the packed crowds, OTL producers saw men holding stacks of bills -- often in large denominations -- as they watched the games. Using hidden cameras, OTL recorded the men openly exchanging money with one another, even as they were just a few feet away from a uniformed police officer in one instance. But the exchange of money in the stands was the small stuff, OTL found -- sometimes the games had tens of thousands of dollars bet on them, and players were often paid for making big plays."

    Is that more or less offensive than Allen, Texas spending $60,000,000 on a high school football stadium while simultaneously considering cuts to teaching staff? http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...=news/national
    "There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed. I say this in order to impress upon you, if you are not already so impressed, that no small matter should divert us from our great purpose. "

      LOL I was just thinking the same thing.
      If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011
