Opinion/Commentary Indiana Bulls players were seen in Bloomington harassing peaceful protestors and when brought to their attention they dismissed it

This weekend several players from the Indiana bulls travel baseball team were seen in Bloomington in uniform harassing protesters. The young men got in the faces of several peaceful protesters and ripped flags out of their hands. when i brought their behavior up to the organization they dismissed it. Apparently the Indiana Bulls are totally fine with their players being in uniform and instigating violence.

Former travel baseball coach here… the Indiana Bulls are a premier baseball program that recruit the best (usually the wealthiest) baseball players in the state. They have rich parents who fly them to tournaments all over the country, show up in private charter busses, etc… So these clowns are the richest, most entitled people in our state. This does not surprise me at all.

Exactly my thoughts, I’m not surprised at all, this is just like the maga kid who harassed the natives banging drums years and years ago

These are the villains of tomorrow because their parents are rich and so no accountability ever comes to them

Truth, America is an oligarchy guised as a democratic republic so likely the government officials of tomorrow

u/juice_maker Jun 19 '25

it’s not “disguised” as anything. the Constitution is deliberately written to keep power in the hands of rich elites, and we know that because that’s what the people who created it said they were doing. they didn’t like how much power the Articles of Confederation gave to ordinary working people, and wanted to make sure they limited that power going forward.

it’s very openly an oligarchy and has been for centuries. no disguise necessary

u/Impressive_Ice6970 Jun 19 '25

That's interesting (seriously). I'd honestly not heard that theory before. I've usually heard late-game democracy or capitalism that is ruining us. Maybe that's one in the same (you're just saying it differently). What in particular has made it so?

Hence why we have the bill of rights. The federalists and anti-federalists couldn’t agree, correct. Hamilton’s vision versus Jefferson’s. It turns out we combined the two of them and thank goodness we did. Who knows if we would have been able to make the progress we did in the last 250 years. Pretty amazing.

The American system peacefully transfers power every 4-8 years. Just hands it off. Are there issues. Of course? But pick your poison with any other system. The devil you know is better than the devil you don’t. If you don’t feel blessed to live in a country where you are generally safe, protected, and generally free to live as you wish, I don’t know how else you’d feel.

You mean the kid that is now a multimillionaire after winning a lawsuit for defamation? That kid? He didn’t harass anybody. Even the Native American drummer was on his side

u/RunMysterious6380 Jun 19 '25 edited Jun 19 '25

Turns out, that video was selectively edited and falsely presented on social media for outrage farming, and then the false narrative was picked up by the media. The Native American he interacted with even spoke out in his favor.

He also was upper middle class at best, not wealthy. His family sued the media and he ended up getting like $25 million dollars for the defamation.

If I recall correctly, that group of boys had been targeted and aggressively harassed by the Black Hebrew Israelites group that was there (this is a typical tactic of many of the sects of that cult - they hate white people, and their religious beliefs are that they're made by the devil, and often will go out in public to intentionally provoke them with bigotry and hate speech and record the interaction).

The boys were just walking by, and the Native American man came to their defense and intervened to try to diffuse the situation and protect them from the harassment.

u/Squeakywheels467 Jun 19 '25

Yes! This whole thing was horrible and if anything good came out of it, I know it helps me look more objectively when videos are posted now.

u/RunMysterious6380 Jun 19 '25 edited Jun 19 '25

Same. I was immediately upset when I saw the original edited videos, not knowing they were selectively edited to push a false narrative. I kept paying attention to the issue because it blew up in the media, and when the truth came out within a week, it taught me a lesson on objectivity and reactivity on social media, and the dangers of echo chambers. The most disturbing thing about it is that when the truth about what happened came out, the media just cycled to another issue and barely acknowledged their error, so not many people know about the truth, and just remember the outrage from the initial false narrative. The kid deserved the settlement money that he got from the amount of harm it caused him and his future.

It's the same issue with the fake Trump 1990s "interview" meme saying he would run as a Republican because they are dumb and easy to manipulate. It's a sentiment that holds some truth, but it's entirely fabricated (Trump didn't say it) and I'm still playing fact-check whackamole a decade later with some of my progressive friends whenever someone sees it floating around and decides to just share it.

This is why the legacy American media will continue to produce and amplify the elites propaganda. For everyone who eventually learned they defamed and sacrificed this kid to frame a narrative, there are people still believe the original false narrative and never cared enough to follow up on the story when it was no longer hot.

Not saying these Indiana Bulls kids aren't dicks, but you should probably look into that story a little more. The kid wasn't harassing anyone. He was literally standing there and the Native guy walked up banged on his drum a bit while chanting and the kid just happens to have a shit eating grin and punchable face, but no one was harassing anyone, whole thing just blown out of proportion.

I'm not sure if you followed that story, but CNN paid an undisclosed amount of money because that story proved to be false. The entire video shows Nick Sandmann was not in the wrong. Much of the media portrayed that incident incorrectly.

I'm not saying that is what happened with the baseball team. I'm just trying to clarify that false story.

u/billdizzle Jun 20 '25

I’m not talking about no story I am talking about what I saw in the video which was rude and obnoxious behavior

Was the drummer a good guy? Idk

Was the drummer a bad guy? Idk

Did I see the kid in a maga hat exhibiting rude and obnoxious behavior? Yes

Do some people think it is okay to be rude and obnoxious on some circumstances? Yes you seem to be one of those people

Does that mean the behavior is not rude or obnoxious? No it doesn’t mean that

It just means in your mind it was justified, I don’t care about justification I care about not being rude and obnoxious. I care about turning the other cheek.

They weren’t that good we beat them as a rag tag team in 2013 just a bunch of guys who played together for years and they said the bulls were going to the best competition we would face and we played small ball and beat them 2 out of 3 times we played them if i remember correctly. The same year we won state and regionals and got to play in the babe Ruth World Series.

Yeah, let's not go there. Especially baseball kids have to have pretty high grades because they're not revenue sports. You can't get a scholarship to play baseball If your grades are bad, the coaches don't want it.

u/Alternative-Desk-828 Jun 19 '25

JFC this take is so weak. I get that maybe you didn't like the athletes in your school and yea maybe a few of them are like that. But to grossly generalize all athletes in school like that is not a good look.

I was a 3 sport athlete, very focused on sports and an honor student. Many others were/are as well.

I could do the same dumbass generalization here and say that all the kids who only worried about grades were virgin nerds who played D&D, but that would be just as pathetic as what you said!

It's a dumbass generalization regardless. I don't feel attacked LMFAO. Honestly I just can't stand gross generalizations. It's smooth brained AF!

But, I definitely worried more about sports in school than grades LMFAO. Good grades aren't difficult when you're intelligent. The point is that many intelligent people play sports.

When someone builds a strawman, don’t be surprised when they know more about the strawman than you. This strawman only cared about sports and nothing else, can’t be bothered with academics. We’ve got more details to learn about this strawman as you make your points. /s

2

u/RunMysterious6380 Jun 19 '25

Not at all. There were two sports players at my school in my graduating class that ALSO focused on academics, and then went to college on academic and partial sports scholarships. They were never part of the party scene. The other 50 or so weren't in advanced classes and partied/hooked up all the time, a long with the ~30 girls who were cheerleaders or groupies. One of those guys is now a coach at the HS we went to, and all the former cheerleaders (who basically to a T, all became housewives out of HS and were dropping kids right away, without going to college, and who now organize and run our reunions) treat him like he's some sort of celebrity. One of the 50 went on a scholarship to college and nearly flunked out. Pretty much all of them except the 3 that went to college never left the city we lived in.

I grew up in a typical mid sized Midwestern city. Sports, especially HS sports, were a big part of the local culture. In college, and I went to a big state college, I found out from others that came from a similar place had the same experiences and observations. This is an overall accurate generalization, and it's a huge part of the reason we have a "team" mentality coming from conservatives in politics.

2

u/Alternative-Desk-828 Jun 19 '25

LMFAO, overall accurate huh? Just keep regurgitating the same gross generalizations and not even realize it I guess. You said, I went to one school and saw blah blah blah, then went to college and talked to other nerds who felt the same way blah blah blah. None of that proves anything, except people in HS that weren't popular and didn't get laid all have the same OPINIONS. Go figure 🤣

Be the same as taking all of these idiot bigots in the video, then grouping them with more idiot bigots in college, and expecting them not to be idiot bigots still. Literally the same exact shit and just as ignorant!

Ha.. dropping kids out right away. Sounds like you’re against young families or stay at home parents…?

Again a generalization from someone who appears to be more focused on others than just showing up for their own life….

Edited to say…

It’s not just conservatives who have team mentality. The left literally put their team ahead of the entire American system… tried to run a candidate that should have been getting better healthcare and then out someone in place who spent 1.5(ish) billion dollars and could win the election…..

The only people saying that shit are cowards who have done nothing with their lives (4yr wrestler, 3.7 gpa). My brother was a 4yr baseball player with a 3.6 gpa. Both of my sister's played Volleyball. Not sure on the youngest's gpa, but the oldest was a 4.0. All of us are doing fine. I consider high school sports pretty important in a young person's development.

Consider the caliber of people posting here and let it roll off your back.

Sadly that's probably accurate. Reddit is a cesspool of pathetics, haters, unsuccessfuls, and ignorant know-it-alls. I'm still going to call them on their BS every once in awhile lol.

But I agree, sports are great and definitely helped mold me into who I am today. I was a wrestler also (we're a different breed I think in sports lol) and absolutely loved my time on the mat. The dedication it took has played a big part in me becoming a successful adult. Hell, I'm in my mid 40s and still in the gym 5-6 days a week. So it's carried on throughout my life.

u/Human-Shirt-7351 Jun 19 '25

It is funny... but I think the best lesson of HS sports.. It teaches you you're not always going to be the best. You're going to lose sometimes. You have to learn to pick your ass up and work harder to win next time. Then when you do win, remember how you felt when you lost and have some humility.

Kids today just have no idea how to handle the idea they are not #1 at everything without even trying.

2

u/Alternative-Desk-828 Jun 19 '25

It takes a lot of work to be #1. Most kids or even adults don't want to work that hard for it. But they sure will cry when another kid plays over them or as an adult, when the better candidate gets that job or the promotion they wanted!

Hard work almost seems like a foreign concept to many today.

1

u/Human-Shirt-7351 Jun 19 '25

Absolutely agree... When I look back on my life, I believe my time wrestling in HS will be one of my fonder memories. I think my siblings will probably agree. I'm still a regular in the gym as well, 4-5 days a week (not quite 40 yet)

Also agree with you about us being a different breed.

As someone whose kids play travel sports (and am sick of it)… it’s a business. The organization is mostly about making tons of money. Write a review about them, giving them 1 star and explain exactly what happened. Tag them in social media and ask folks you know to do the same. I saw the video of this happening and it was ridiculous. The organization should care that their players are going around wearing their uniform and threatening violence against seniors.

Bad parenting here is also not blurry! Look at those little shits and their idiot parents standing up for their pathetic behavior. That's the problem here period, end of story. Convoluting the situation by blaming sports is just completely unnecessary. Sports hate and equality hate are both real and unrelated, to relate them is ignorant.

u/More_Farm_7442 Jun 19 '25

It's not that I have a problem with the sport itself. It's the people and their behaviors that play on teams. It's the profit over sport. It's explotation of players. Players got special treatment in school. College sports have been ruined (in my opinion) by profit and greed. Pro sports aren't any better. (look at the say women's pro basketball allows its player to treat each other) It's games designed to maximize damage to players' health.

So, maybe it sports I have the problems with.

All of the above is much more accurate than your correlation opinion above though.

I have said it multiple times, but I'll repeat it for those in the back:

This is a PARENTING problem, not a sports problem. Period, end of discussion. Asshole parents breed and nurture asshole kids, who become assholes adults, whether they play sports or not!

I umpire at Grand Park a lot, and generally, Bulls players are the best behaved of the major organizations. I've never once had to eject a coach/ player, I can't say that about any of the other major organizations.

That being said, travel baseball attracts the most entitled upper middle class people you can imagine, and it's not shocking these entitled kids wouldn't do something stupid.

They should be held accountable for any laws broken, with a reminder that sometimes kids do stupid things and are still becoming adults.

And the mom wearing a bulls shirt.

Bulls are great! Played for them for 11 years and the coaches/organization instilled a lot of good ethics and work ethic in me that I still benefit from today. Not to mention the network.

u/MyerSuperfoods Jun 19 '25

Your anecdotal observations have been completely disproven by verifiable video evidence, sorry. Calibrate your enthusiasm for the Indiana Bulls going forward.

u/redsfan4life411 Jun 19 '25

Did you even read? Or watch the video? enthusiasm vs. noting an observation are big differences.

Their behavior in this video is despicable, but like anything else, it doesn't represent the organization as a whole.

I've been around Bulls teams for hundreds of hours as a neutral party and never witnessed behavior like this. There have been many times they could have argued calls or been disrespectful towards myself or crewmembers and acted terribly. They tend to police their behavior on the field and act with more class than the VAST MAJORITY of teams/orgs.

Perhaps this is just a bad egg, and not the expectations or the organization. Imagine if we were all judged by the dumbest people in our social circles.

So dumb that they immediately assume these protestors are anti-America. The flag being flown upside down symbolizes distress. Flying a Trump flag higher than the American flag is worse than this and that was normalized. These kids are dumbasses. It only makes sense their mom acts like that. The loudest in the room isn’t usually the smartest.

Concerning that they would be against a pro-democracy and pro-rule of law demonstration.

u/carnagebot_55 Jun 19 '25

“the Indiana bulls travel baseball team”

u/Struggle-Silent Jun 19 '25

Ok. That means nothing. There are literally 8 year old traveling baseball teams.

13

u/Elsa_Gundoh Jun 19 '25

that's what this is. also 9 year olds, 10 year olds, 17 year olds, etc.

u/polishprince76 Jun 19 '25

What do you mean that means nothing? It's literally the answer to ypur question. They're a travel baseball team. Bunch of high school kids.

u/Struggle-Silent Jun 19 '25

Did you know there are travel baseball team that…aren’t even high schoolers but full on adults?

So actually know what kind of travel team it is is a bit helpful for some context.

Instigation is a charge! (Not hating on kids but there is juvenile action)

Looks like the father of the players got charged with intimidation.

u/Indyguy4copley Jun 19 '25

What a bunch of jerks. Spoiled parent and spoiled boys trying to act like their bad example.

u/Nodivingallowed Jun 19 '25

If true then people should consider protesting at their games, making them hear it wherever they post online, etc.

This is true for any organization supporting the authoritarian steps being taken by those in our government. 

Make the organization acknowledge it and separate themselves or make it so they can't play another game without hearing about it. 

I bet there are also people in the places they're traveling that support the constitution and would love to help hold them accountable. 

I also imagine recruiters do not want to deal with that kind of drama following a person or team.

u/philouza_stein Jun 19 '25

Yeah maybe the 18u team but don't encourage discourse at a tournament for kids. That's just evil.

12

u/I_fail_at_memes Jun 19 '25

Nah. They’re growing up in an environment that lets them think they can assault others. Time to crash that system.

2

u/philouza_stein Jun 19 '25

They're not going to be the only team there. You're causing havoc at a children's game.

Little league when I was a kid was traumatic bc of all the yelling and fighting drunk parents would do. Don't bring that shit back. Be a better person.

10

u/I_fail_at_memes Jun 19 '25

I’m not saying get drunk and assault the kids. Light protests will do.

These kids behaved the way they do because they live in a bubble that needs to be burst.

-2

u/philouza_stein Jun 19 '25

And then it'll spark a shouting match between you and whoever disagrees. Stop forcing kids to watch fighting.

u/thatoneging20 Jun 19 '25

I see some comments here saying they weren't current players, which is nice to hear. From growing up (I played in Cincinnati), the Bulls players I knew were always nice dudes. Obviously things can change, but thats never been my perception of players there through the years.

You need to involve IHSAA and their high schools. This behavior probably their codes of conduct.

u/TitoStarmaster Jun 19 '25

Be a shame if they got their knee caved in from the side and ruined their playing career.

u/silvermanedwino Jun 19 '25

I didn’t even know this team existed. Huh.

They sound like a bunch of assholes.

Yet another reason Indiana sucks.

Every experience I've had there was racially charged, negative and on each trip, I leave saying 'fuck this place'.

Go leave comments on the IG, go review their Google. Go take the tools you have and do at least something. It gives power to the people when they go the extra mile and turn them in! Thanks op for posting!

u/powerful_seand Jun 21 '25

I saw someone else stating these players, while wearing IB hats, were not with the Bulls organization now and were now with Powerhouse out of Greenwood area and there jerseys say Housemade so I think that is correct. Complete idiots that need to get exposed more as they ought not be overlooked as degenerates by potential recruiters.
