March 13, 201214 yr http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/highschool-p...-114729592.html I imagine on a message board with a majority population of guys, the ruling consensus would not have a problem with a little league club taking a donation from a strip club. But, does anyone see anything wrong with this? I say a donation is a donation. Strip clubs are legitmate businesses (for the most part). I wonder if there were any parents that refused to let their kids play?
March 13, 201214 yr As long as they don't have their logo on the uniforms (there were no conditions to the donation), then I don't have a problem with it.
March 13, 201214 yr The alternative is no little league season, right? Kids benefit. No harm no foul.
March 13, 201214 yr On the news this morning they interviewed the league president and he said they would be returning the money. At first I thought that was dumb, but seeing as it became a big news story (national play) and it's only $1200 bucks, I bet someone else will pony up the money for the PR boost.

March 13, 201214 yr Yeah, I think my take on it is, "You don't want the Little League associated with the strip club, then make it rain about $1200 and we'll return their money."

March 15, 201214 yr When I was working for the Boy Scouts of America we could not, and would not even consider, accepting donations from companies that promoted products that would be harmful to people, especially kids. It was usually beer companies that had logo stuff they would offer to us. (I'm not saying strip bars are harmful to kids) I'm not certain how many parents would want their daughters playing in a league that was sponsored by a strip club. Better would have been for one of the owners to donate in their name(s). One of our largest benefactors owns a beer distributor and another owns a grill and bar.

March 16, 201214 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 16, 2012 -> 11:08 AM) McDonalds? We never approached fast food however one of our other biggest benefactors owns several Burger Kings. He donates in his name, serves on our board, is a past board president, etc. I'm not certain I would compare fast food to a strip club. The better stone to cast would be the NRA and gun manufactures
