Had a Judge in Chicago that would order "delinquents and gang members" to the "basketball court" to play against each other..They could not play on the team with their "thugs" and had to have 3 games as part of anger control classes..Really..

Anyway, the results were amazing and grew until funding ran out for the basket ball court and the City of Chi_Town would not fund it anymore.... A true shame because the year it went on those young adults learned a little respect for each other and actually started "talking" than fighting...Know of three stories followed in the paper about it where three gang members eventually got away from their "group and went the other way...

No doubt in my mind had it continued there would have been other success stories too..

I agree having a basket ball game is a great idea.

But I would have the police choose the teams putting players from both sides on the teams. Then changing teams & picking the best players to play against the two leaders with the worse players.

I would say that this would go to show the leaders are not as much as leaders as they would think they are.
