Anklebiters Under Investigation

BREAKING NEWS – BTSH.org has just been notified that the league’s new Disciplinary Committee manager, Haanwa Chau, has launched a formal investigation regarding potential hazing violations committed by the Gouging Anklebiters. Although it is suspected that these infractions have actually gone on for several years, it seems the former DC manager, Jeremy “The Foot” Schumacher, never pursued any complaints. Part of Chau’s investigation will thus include a review of whether Schumacher himself has or had any ties to these allegations as well.

Several witnesses have testified that they saw two Anklebiter rookies, as well as one veteran, in Parkside Lounge on Friday sporting embarrassing and demeaning costumes that the senior members of the team forced them to wear.  Despite these personal accounts, team captain Phil “Sandy” Donohue remains adamant in his stance that his team has done no wrong.  He comments, “I fully anticipate that upon completion of this investigation, we will be absolved of all charges.” Your humble correspondants will continue to track this story as it unfolds.

BTSH Food Drive, Take 2

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Canned Food

With “rain fears” washing away last week’s attempted food drive, BTSH will try once again this Sunday, October 4.  Everyone is encouraged to bring food to Tompkins, where BTSH representatives will gather it and drop it off at the Bowery Mission. If you would like to help, the league still needs people to help collect everything and drivers to drop off the food (this will likely be done in waves as opposed to waiting until all games are done). Anyone wishing to volunteer, please contact Ed Lau.
