>>> THE ROB REMEMBER WEST LITTLE

LEAGUE SAYS THEY WILL FIGHT FILE

SUIT GECHBS LITTLE LEAGUE

INTERNATIONAL TO HAVE THEIR

TITLE SPEAK RAIN STAILGTSED YET.

THE DIRECTOR SPOKE OUT ASKING

THE PUBLIC TO STICK WITH THE

TEAM, ONE DAY AFTER LITTLE

LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL STRIPPED

THE TEAM OF ITS NATIONAL

CHAMPIONSHIP FOR ILLEGALLY

INCLUDING PLAYERS OUTSIDE THE

LEAGUE'S ACCEPTED BOUNDARIES.

PARIS SCHUTZ HAS LATEST.

>> Reporter: WE HEARD FROM SOME

OF THE EMBATTLED ADMINISTRATORS

OF ROB REMEMBER WEST FOR THE

FIRST TIME TODAY.

THEY STEPPED OUT BEHIND THEIR

NEWLY RETAINED ATTORNEY, VICTOR

HENDERSON, OF THE LAW FIRM THAT

REPRESENTED PEOPLE LIKE ROD

BLAGOJEVICH AND BILL BEAVERS

ANDR. KELLEY.

THE COACH WOULD NOT ANSWER ANY

QUESTIONS.

DID HE AND LEAGUE OFFICIALS

EXPAND BOUNDARIES WITHOUT THE

APPROVAL OF SURROUNDING LITTLE

LEAGUES, BUT THE LEAGUE'S

DIRECTOR WHO LITTLE LEAGUE

INTERNATIONAL HAS ORDERED

REMOVED ASKED SUPPORTERS TO

STICK BY THE TEAM.

>> AS UNITED STATES MAY KNOW WE

HAVE FACED SCRUTINY OVER PAST

FEW MONTHS AFTER ALLEGATIONS

THAT OUR PLAYER DIAGNOSIS NOT

MEET RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS AND

WE FALSIFIED RECORDS TO GAIN

PLAYERS FROM OTHER DISTRICTS NEP

WERE DISMISSED BY LITTLE LEAGUE

INTERNATIONAL IN DECEMBER OF

2014 BECAUSE OF OUR ABILITY TO

PROVIDE DETAILS AND FACTUAL

INFORMATION TO NATIONAL

OFFICIALS, LITTLE LEAGUE

INTERNATIONAL INDICATED IN

DECEMBER 2014 THAT WE SATISFIED

THE REQUIREMENTS OF EACH

PLAYER'S ELIGIBILITY.

OUR FATHER LAUNCHED THIS LEAGUE

41 YEARS AGO ON THE FOUNDATION

OF GOOD SUPPORTSMANSHIP AND GOOD

TEAMWORK.

WE PLAYED HARD TO WIN A STATE

CHAMPIONSHIP, A GREAT LAKES

REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, AND ONE

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, AND

CLEARLY WE HAVE ONE MORE BATTLE

TO FACE.

>> PARIS, THEY MENTIONED THEY

ARE IN THE FILING ANY LAWSUITS.

WHAT IS THEIR LEGAL RECOURSE?

>> THE ATTORNEY WOULDN'T GET

INTO THE SPECIFIC CHARGES THAT

THEY IMPROPERLY EXPANDED

BOUNDARIES AND INCLUDED KIDS

FROM OTHER LITTLE LEAGUE

DISTRICTS, HE DIDN'T KNOW THE

ANSWERS TO THOSE QUESTIONS YET.

HE WANTEDS TO DIG INTO IT AND

GET TO THE ABOUT THE ONLY OF HOW

LITTLE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL

CONDUCTED ITS INVESTIGATION, AND

ULTIMATELY CAME TO ITS

CONCLUSIONS.

>> THEY ARE STILL THE CHAMPIONS

UNLESS AND UNTIL WE FIND OUT

THERE WAS A THEIR PROCESS THAT

WAS EVEN HANDED AND APPLIED TO

EVERY OTHER TEAM THAT MAY FIND

ITSELF IN THE SAME SITUATION.

THEIR WILL TEAMS ALL ACROSS

AMERICA AND THERE WAS SOME

RESIDENCY ISSUES, THAT HAPPENS

WHEN OTHER TEAMS HAVE THOSE

ISSUES, I DIDN'T KNOW.

HOW MANY OTHER TEAMS HAVE HAD

THESE ISSUES, I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY HAVE

RESIDENCY ISSUES, DO YOU TAKE

AWAY THEIR TITLES OR METE OUT

SOME ON THE FORM OF THINGS, I

DON'T KNOW.

THEY WOULD NOT OVERANY NOR MEDIA

INTERVIEWS, THEY SAID THE LEAGUE

WILL WORK WITH ITS COUNSEL TO

ENSURE THAT OFFICIALS AND THEIR

ATTORNEY ARE FULLY EDUCATED

REGARDING THE FACTUAL BASIS OF

THE DECISION.

ATTORNEY HENDERSON PROVIDED

WRITTEN CORRESPONDENT TO BACK UP

THE CLAIMS THAT HALEY MADE THAT

AS RECENTLY AS DECEMBER, LITTLE

LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL DID SIGN

OFF ON THE NEW EXPANDED MAP BUT

THERE WAS A LOT OF PRODDING FROM

THE WEBSITE, WHICH INITIALLY

BROKE THIS STORY AND MORE

INFORMATION THAT CAME FORWARD

THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR THAT

OVERSAW THIS DISTRICT OF SEVERAL

LEAGUES ON THE SOUTH SIDE SIGNED

OFFER ON THAT MAP WITHOUT THOSE

NEIGHBORING LEAGUES AGREEING TO

IT.

THAT ADMINISTRATOR HAD SINCE

BEEN REMOVED, NO WORD FROM HIM

ON THIS WHOT SITUATION YET

EITHER.

AND HENDERSON ADDRESSED REPORTS

THAT CHRIS JANES THE COACH FROM

EVERGREEN PARK THAT CAME

FORWARD, THE NRL ALLEGATIONS THE

LITTLE LEAGUE DISMISSED.

HE GOT THE BALL ROLLING.

HE RECEIVED DEATH THREATS AND

HENDERSON ADDRESSED THAT SAYING

HE SHOULD NOT BE RECEIVING DEATH

THREATS FOR COMING FORWARD.

FMPBLTS THE PARENTS MADE SOME

MISTAKES OR DIDN'T DO SOMETHING

THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE WE

WILL FIND OUT ABOUT THAT.

THE GENTLEMAN IN EVERGREEN PARK

SHOULD NOT BE ATTACKED.

THE HALEY FAMILY SHOULD NOT BE

ATTACKED.

THE LITTLE LEAGUE OFFICIALS

SHOULD NOT BE ATTACKED.

I THINK ALL OF US AT THE END OF

THE DAY THE IRONY IS THIS IS THE

ROB REMEMBER TEAM AND HE WOULD

HAVE US ALL PLAY FAIR, PLAY

HARD, BUT PLAY FAIR.

>> JANES THE EVERYGREEN PARK

LOCAL OFFICIAL ACKNOWLEDGED

TODAY THAT HIS LEAGUE HASN'T

FIELDED PLAYERS FROM ACROSS THE

BORDER IN CHICAGO, HE SAYS THAT

IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN BUT

THOSE PLAYERS HAVE NEVER PLAYED

ON ANY OF EVERGREEN'S PARK

TOURNAMENT TEAMS.

HE SAYS WHEN THEY SIGN UP TO

PLAY, YOU WON'T BE ELIGIBLE FOR

THE TOURNAMENT TEAM.

>> TO BE CLEAR, NEW INFORMATION

APPEARS TO HAVE SURFACED SINCE

DECEMBER, WHEN LITTLE LEAGUE

INTERNATIONAL FIRST SAID NO,

EVERYTHING IS OKAY, WE WILL NOT

PURSUE THIS.

>> CORRECT.

IT APPEARS THE PLAYERS ON THAT

TEAM WERE FROM, WITHIN THE

BOUNDARIES OF THAT MAP, BUT THE

PROBLEM WAS THE MAP WASN'T

LEGALLY DRAWN, THE OTHER LITTLE

LEAGUES IN THE AREA DID NOT

AGREE TO IT OR SORT OF

SNOOKERED.

THE ADMINISTRATOR OVERSAW THOSE

THAT SIGNED OFF ON A MAP THAT

WASN'T AGREED TO.

>> SO AT THIS POINT THERE IS NO

INDICATION OR ANY

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ANY

WRONGDOING ON THE PART OF ADULTS

WHO WERE OVERSEEING?

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF CALLS IN

THE MEDIA AND COMMUNITY FOR THE

ADULTS TO COME FORWARD TO TEACH

THE LESSON IF YOU DO THING THE

WRONG WAY HAVE YOU TO FACE THE

CONSEQUENCES BUT WE HAVE SEEN

FROM THE ADULTS TODAY, THEY ARE

GOING TO STICK THEIR FEET IN THE

GROUND FIRMLY AND MOVE FORWARD,

SAYING THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING

WRONG AND THEY ARE STILL MORE

INFORMATION TO BE FOUND OUT

ABOUT HOW LITTLE LEAGUE

INTERNATIONAL CAME TO THIS

DECISION.

SO NO REMORES, NO APOLOGIES YET

FROM THE ADULTS AND FAMILIES

SEEM TO BE STICKING BY THE

LEAGUE ADMINISTRATORS.

>> ANY INDICATION THAT THE

COACHES OR OTHER ADULTS ARE

RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING THE

TEAM?

HAVE MET WITH THE PLAYERS?

>> THEY MET LAST NIGHT.

THEY SAID THEY TALKED ABOUT

STICKING TOGETHER, LIKE THEY DID

WHEN THEY WERE PLAYING ON THE

FIELD.

THERE IS A RALLY AT WAYNE BOW

PUSH, REVEREND JESSE JACKSON'S

HEADQUARTERS ON SATURDAY AND

THEY TALK ABOUT STAYING A

TIGHT-KNIT COMMUNITY AND THEY

HAVE BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH

EACH OTHER.

>> PARIS, THANK YOU.
