A verbal dust-up between grown-ups began with an email blast accusing the Northwest Washington Little League president and his allies of cheating to stack the league and his own team.
A bench-clearing brawl of sorts has broken out over alleged cheating in a Little League serving one of the District’s wealthiest neighborhoods.The verbal dust-up between grown-ups began last week after an email blast accused Northwest Washington Little League president Ricky Davenport-Thomas and his allies of engaging in a long-running pattern of cheating to stack the league and his own team with talent — allegations Davenport-Thomas has denied.
One parent — reportedly saying he wanted no part of such “dishonesty” — confronted Davenport-Thomas and expressed alarm that his son was on the league roster in apparent violation of the eligibility rules, the letter says. But Davenport-Thomas brushed aside his concerns and reassured the parent that the appropriate waivers had been obtained. The letter says those reassurances were based on falsehoods.
Davenport-Thomas, an employee in the District’s Parks and Recreation department who became Northwest Washington Little League’s first African American president in 2017, has been coaching and umpiring children in baseball and T-ball for 36 years.
