I respect him for this, actually.

/and for a lot of other things.

That is SO awesome...

Yet, there will always be some people with shit to say...Makes me sick man...And this will hardly ever be front page news...But, let Snoop do something not "good" and it will be on the front page and the top story of every news outlet in America...Totally suxxx ass...

But good for the kids in that area, Snoop, and his kids....

Nah...I don't like it.

To me, all it does it further benefit the good players...and make the bad ones feel rejected and left out.


All-stars can get phones for free and the easy ride when they get to college...

all, in my opinion, that this is doing..is making the better kids get arrogant and cocky...while leaving the worse kids...feeling sad and rejected....probably not wanting to play football anymore.


And who is he to only call the best 8-10 year olds....if you're gonna let some play...let them all play.


It's a great program for those who make it in....but it makes matters worse for everyone else.

ok LG, does it really keep kids from playing who aren't good enough to meet the requirements for the league he created that will really test the limits of the teams if this is the BEST? I think he just basically funded an AP level... and leveled the basic playing field.

it is the basis of the olympics... before professional sports.

he also gets to pimp it out, and doesn't have to worry about committee, and that's so snoop.

and the kids that make it will be changed forever... while the league that tried to get him ousted from coaching is left in the stone age it tried to make him fit in. Maybe the kids who don't make it will cry, but then they aren't storng enough competors to handle the intense level other kids may need to feel the challenge that will allw them to excel.

Yea...I heard about this. I think it's a great thing he's doing

Well, TT, I'd certainly like to give him the benefit of the doubt, and footballin in his youth was vital to the development of Calvin Puppy into Snoop Dogg.

and at least he ain't *touchin* them cause they so *special*...

lmao...nah...I'd be worried if Michael Jackson started doing this but Snoop should be fine
