    Thats just absurd.

    Why the hell would you bet on a youth football game? I don't trust NFL receivers to make the right catches at the right time, why would I trust a kid.

    I mean, setting aside how they're ruining it for the kids..

    Would you trust a kid to fix the game properly?

    This is a good sign you may have a gambling problem.

    On a side note, I'm having a good year so far while exploiting grown men playing football. 8-)

    Hell they were betting on men's league soccer here in Canada. And it was fixed.

    At least in the little leagues if the kid screws up you can blow it off as a kid. When Brady tosses four interceptions and was supposed to cover by 22.5 and barely beats Kansas City, well I may have a problem with a fix.

    "Deerfield Beach City officials ramped up their background screening process for youth coaches about 18-months ago when authorities told them about the investigation, but each city is in charge of setting its own ordinances and they vary widely on the issue."

    That alone seems fucked up; a basic background check (prior to said "ramping up") wouldn't show that someone did time for grand theft auto? Sheesh.
