The problem with this strategy is that in most places, the note is recorded in the clerk's office with the mortgage. Producing it is just a matter of getting a copy from the clerk.

You CAN win and still maintain class. That is clearly not what occurred here. The lesson of sports is not to crush your opponents in a humiliating fashion, rather it is to play, win or lose with dignity and even compassion.

These are not professional sports teams, or even collegiate sports teams wherein jobs and finances play a role; these are high school teams. There are life lessons beyond crush the weak that could, and should, be imparted.

Thanks!

Buck Weaver, one of the eight "Black Sox" players banned for life, was never shown to have taken any money or participated in any way. The sin that led him to lifetime banishment was not informing officials of the scheme.

Grand Jury testimony did indicate that Jackson tried to inform officials, and tried to return the money. He was advised, (by the White Sox counsel) to accept the statement of facts as presented to him in order to avoid jail He was nearly illiterate, and was caught up in the plans of his teammates.
