Former Chicago Little League team suing over stripped title

AP reports:

A former Chicago Little League team announced a lawsuit Wednesday against the sport's governing body, accusing it of improperly stripping it of the national title that had catapulted the young athletes to hometown hero status.

An attorney for Jackie Robinson West told reporters that after reviewing the case he thought the team was unfairly singled out for scrutiny, in part, because all of its players are black.

Little League International stripped the team of its U.S. championship in February after an investigation that it said found team officials had falsified local league boundaries so they could add ineligible players.

The great moments of Chicago.
