9 Charged with Gambling on Youth Football Games: Nine youth football coaches or associates in Florida are facing felony charges in connection with a system of rampant high-dollar gambling on little league football. Up to $100,000 was bet on championship games, said Broward County Det. Solomon Barnes.
As a fan of degenerates, I love this story.

Since money is being made on them, shouldn't these kids be paid?

I would have to venture that most of them are getting free room and board from their parents. If you think that basic rent plus meals (without even getting into clothing and other necessities and luxuries) would, at a minimum, be approximately $500 per month for 18 years, we are looking at fully loaded value to these kids of at least $108,000, and that is without adjusting for inflation. Therefore these kids are clearly already getting paid.

Or at least get some uniforms from Flo Rida.

I've heard that their league is looking into the abuse of extra pepperoni on the post-game pizzas. Shameful.
Does anyone know where I can get a bet down?
