Youth Rec League Team Kicked Out Of League For Putting Names Like "Knee Grow" On Their Jerseys

“There is enough hate, bullying, and aggressive behavior in the world that these kids, parents, and schools shouldn’t have to deal with bigotry and lewd innuendos on jerseys and in team names in a school district-represented recreational basketball league,” Rue wrote in a much-commented-upon Facebook post.

On Sunday, Rue’s wife pointed out the “Wet Dream Team” name of the Kings area team to him. They saw racist names of “Coon” and “Knee Grow” on the backs of player jerseys.

“This isn’t a typo, this isn’t a mistake, these are ideas that were thought of, discussed, agreed upon by adults and kids alike, printed on uniforms…and no one thought this was a bad idea or inappropriate?” Rue asked in his post.

To borrow a phrase from my pals at Pardon My Take…

SHHHEEEESSSSSHHHHH

You cant let your kids go out there wearing jerseys that say “Knee Grow or Coon.” Just cant do it. In fact, you gotta ground your kids if they even ask. What makes this even worse is that this league was a 7th-12th grades league. Obviously doing this kinda shit is dumb as hell and we all know that. That being said, FIRE UP THE JOKE MACHINE!

You wanna put Ben Dover on your jersey? Knock yourself out.

“What else, Chaps? What else could we put on our kids’ jerseys that’s inappropriate but borderline ok?”

Well…

Hugh G. Rection would work. Maybe you could put Justin Casey Feltersnatch but that seems problematic too. Heywood Jablowme is a classic. Too obvious tho. Mike Hawk is a nice one. Phil McHunt obviously. And for our vegan stoolies who still like to have a laugh… Brock O’leigh. Love veggies.

Good work, everybody.
