Trump Stirs Controversy With Registration Debate

The Donald sparked some controversy this past week with discussions about registration checks at the playoffs. In last season's playoffs, Multiple Scorgasm asked for a roster check against the Seminoles because there were a couple of players they didn't recognize (perhaps because the Seminoles rarely if ever went to the bar after games). A roster of players was pulled up and player names were checked against drivers licences. Two Seminole ladies didn't have their licences on them so they were asked to verify their identity by asking them to verify their phone numbers and dates of birth. This information checked out however the ironic thing is that Multiple Scorgasm was found to be playing with an unregistered player.

According to kickball rules, a team can be disqualified from playoff play if they play with an unregistered player. This usually doesn't come up too often except for when an opposing team calls for a roster check. All players should plan on bringing their government issued IDs to the playoffs to verify identity in case that situation arises.

This incident caught the eye of Trump who sent investigators to the DMV to search for the missing licences. Trump stated, "I have people that actually have been studying it and they can't believe what they are finding." Wednesday, the Seminoles agreed that everyone on their team would bring their government issued ID to the playoffs to avoid any more controversy if another ID check is requested from another team.

At a press event in New Hampshire, Trump reacted to the news. "Today I am very proud of myself. I am so incredibly proud. You would not even believe how proud of myself I am. It would be absolutely impossible for anyone to be any prouder of themselves than I am of myself. I am proud because I’ve accomplished something that nobody else has been able to accomplish. I was just informed, while on the helicopter that the Seminoles have finally agreed to show IDs at the playoffs. I would want to look at them but I hope its true so we can get on to much more important matters so the press can stop asking me questions. They should have done it a long time ago. Why they didn’t do it when Multiple Scorgasms asked for it, why they didn’t do it when everybody else was asking for it, I don’t know."

It wasn't just Seminoles that caught the attention of The Donald. He also found some issue with Booze on First's success this season. "I have a great relationship with the black team. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks" said Trump. "But he word is, according to what I’ve read, that they were a terrible team in fall 2010. They then get into Spring 2011, they then come in 2nd place. I heard in the beginning of this season they weren’t a very good team. Then they win 2nd place. How do you win 2nd place if your not a good team? Now, maybe that’s right or maybe its wrong but I don’t know why they don’t release their records."

Indeed, Booze on First did finish last season tied for last place but many considered them to be the best last place team ever after they had a few tough breaks and close games. They also had a less than stellar start to the season but their schedule was definitely weighted heavy in the first few weeks. They surprised many teams with their 5 game winning streak to finish the season.

Regardless of how each team did in the regular season, or how Donald Trump feels about it, any team can have one good day at the playoffs. Playoff champions will be eligible for an invitation to play for the Founders Cup in Las Vegas. Anyone else can also represent Tampa and play in Vegas in the fun tournament (aka the Kickball Games) by putting their name on the list.
