Ok, so the 411 is that the Buli Boys from Dallas were protested and kicked out of the Gay World Series. Let me catch you up!
The Buli Boys were undefeated in the Series until they played Straight Up, we beat them by one point. But this team sho was good! They definitely were a higher division and should never have been allowed to be in our division. Rumor had it that the BBoys decided to throw that game to avoid any speculation about their ratings. I reject that rumor, we were good and we beat them fair and square.
Reliable sources have said the the number 1 seed in our division were protested by a Toronto rep. The BBoys played against Philly for third place and won. During the game, there was a hearing being held about the protest. The hearing for the protest lasted about 2hours (it was very law and order). The protest has stood ground and the Buli Boys were told that they were kicked out of the Series due to their rating being too high. Of course they were mad and apparently one BBoy threatened a commissioner by saying to watch where he drives and they were escorted out of the park by police.
Oooo Weee! The Buli Boys became more like Boyz in Da Hood! They were mad as hell and from what I hear most of them don't drink or party anymore they all been to rehab and straightened up. Looks like the next sign up will be for rehab instead of softball tournament. They have a hefty fine to pay and now their rep has been tarnished. I'll keep ya'll posted with details.
XOXO

You got it right. The one thing to note is that the Buli Boys were not protested by another team, but by a NAGAAA official. In some respects, it's unfortunate because I like the message that they are trying to send. However, it seems like their message was lost in their zeal to win. My team was beat by them: we were prepared before the game to protest (I've come to find out subsequent to playing) given the number of complaints our coach and manager had heard, but we played so poorly against them we had no grounds to protest. They were definitely under-rated. They had the type of players that could hit the ball deep, then when you moved deep in the outfield, they would hit it in front of you. If they did hit it in the outfield, what would normally be a single for most players was a double for them. If I heard correctly, this is one of the aspects that got them in trouble and where they under-rated several of their players. My question to them would be this: if you are doing this in part to present a positive message and prove to people you don't have to party to have fun, why do so many people hate you?
you are correct, the buli boys definitely deserved to be kicked out of the tournament. They had the type of players that could hit the ball deep, then when you moved deep they would hit it in front of you. They were also the type of players that would be on second base on a hit most would only be able to get to first on. This, if I heard correctly, is part of what got them in trouble. An important thing to note in this case is that they were not protested by another team. Instead, a NAGAAA official filed the protest. So, I guess they were blatant enough that the officials couldn't stand it. I know my team was ready to protest them (I found this out after our game), but did not because we played so poorly we didn't have grounds to protest. My question to the Buli Boys would be this: if you're intent is really to present a positive message (which I actually support), then why do so many people hate you? Maybe, the answer is because the message is getting lost in how you chose to do things.
