ZBoyer Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 You guys saw that Danbury dropping out of the league was a cover, right? Apparently, the owner had mob connections and was paying his players twice as much by getting them on the payroll for his trash business.I don't know much about it, but here's the link on the team leaving: http://www.courant.com/news/local/statewir...0,3803247.storyAnd here's one about the whole scandal: http://www.courant.com/news/local/statewir...0,2108498.story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, it's just allegations and nothing more...the truth to them will be determined in the right venue..and it's most certainly NOT in the pages of the local birdcage liners or on the evening news.When the hell will people get that through their thick skulls?????Does it look bad? Is the Pope Catholic? Of course it looks bad (I wasn't born yesterday)...but I'm giving the owner the benefit of the doubt until the courts say otherwise...if he's guilty as charged, so be it...if he's innocent, so be it.Wish people would get that straight instead of jumping the gun and just assuming things that might not be 100% accurate...It's not a total defense, but it's called sticking to the tenant of "innocent until proven guilty". ANYONE deserves that, no matter how much of a lowlife they might prove to be in the end.Besides, you can get a better feel for what's going on from the Danbury News-Times , seeing they're kind of a bit closer to the story...
