In February 2016, parents of the team's members sued Little League Baseball, Janes, [[ESPN Inc.]], and ESPN personality [[Stephen A. Smith]]. They alleged that Little League Baseball and JRW officials had deliberately obfuscated details about the players' eligibility to "reap the benefits of notoriety and media attention", did not grant [[due process]], that ESPN's Stephen A. Smith made [[defamation|defamatory]] remarks on its program ''[[ESPN First Take|First Take]]'' that "directly accused the JRW parents of perpetrating a fraud against the Little League", and that Janes had violated their right to privacy by using [[license plate]]s to identify the players' residencies.<ref name="wp-lawsuit">{{cite news|title=Jackie Robinson West parents sue team, Little League, ESPN's Stephen A.

Jackie Robinson West

Further information: Disqualification of Jackie Robinson West Little League from the 2014 Little League World Series

Team Jackie Robinson West was the first all black team to compete in the tournament in several decades. Hailing from the Washington Heights area of Chicago, the team made it all the way to the World Championship before ultimately falling to a team from South Korea.

As the team rose to prominence, Evergreen Park, Illinois, Little League official Chris Janes began to investigate personal information pertaining to players of the Jackie Robinson West team, finding that multiple players on the team lived outside the team's designated boundary region. He later discovered that the team had used a falsified boundary map which covered a wider area than other teams in the region had agreed to.[5] On February 11, 2015, based on Chris Janes' findings, the team's wins and U.S. titles were forfeited for its use of ineligible players. The U.S. title was retroactively awarded to Mountain Ridge Little League of Las Vegas. The Great Lakes title was also stripped from Jackie Robinson West, and given to the team they beat in the regional championship, New Albany, Indiana.[5][6]
