Nothing will be banned, though they may choose to change the name.

And the conservatives complain about the liberals looking for ways to be offended. You're looking for the next thing to get pissed off about before they're even offended by it.

Considering Dixie Youth was started when Little League baseball became segregated and places in the South stopped playing Little League and started their own organization, I would not be surprised if it was done away with and all Dixie Youth teams played Little League

Not sure bout the being banned part, but the in Lafourche Parish was all bout making money for its officers. At the expense of the kids.

It's a private organization though?

There's no reason for it now and it should just merge with Little League or go away.


"Rather than play an all-black team that entered a state tournament during the days of legalized segregation, 61 all-white teams from South Carolina bolted the Pennsylvania-based Little League organization and held their own tournament in 1955 - no minorities allowed."

I played Dixie Youth ball as a kid back in the day. Good ol SL. We never won a single All Star game my entire time playing (3-4 years?). Anyway, I remember we'd get our All Stars jersey's (really just shirts) and we'd be given the Dixie Youth patch and one of the years (and each year after) it no longer had the Confederate Battle Flag, replaced instead with 'Est. 1955'. This was back in the mid-late 90s.

This.

Self-persecution is NOT a good look on you, whitey. You look better when you're stomping down on the minorities.

How long until Dixie Crystals are banned and were forced to just use sugar substitute?
