You've got to be "Kiddin" Me

"A 21-year-old poses as middle school football player'"
The Story:    Something wasn't right about Chad Jordan.  He was perfectly nice at youth football practice, his coach said. He never made any trouble. But still, "There just was a lot of stuff that wasn't adding up, you know?" said Ray McCloud, coach of the Town 'N Country Packers.

McCloud's instincts were right.

Julious Javone Threatts is 21 years old. He's now behind bars without bail after Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies said he used the alias Chad Jordan to pose as a 14-year-old boy, join the Tampa Bay Youth Football League and try to register at a Tampa middle school.

"Chad Jordan" might have gotten away with just playing football, but last week he tried to take his middle school imitation act to an actual middle school. Threatts attempted to enroll in Webb Middle School in Hillsborough (Fla.) last Tuesday, but his application was delayed because he lacked the proper paperwork proving his identity. When he was eventually moved to the school social worker's office -- Threatts told school officials he was homeless, so he was waiting with the social worker for the Department of Child and Families to arrive at the school -- his cell phone rang with a call from his mother, wondering where he was. School officials answered and learned Threatts' true identity from his mother, after which the 21-year-old was arrested for trespassing at the school.


The Analysis:  Sometimes you got to just let it go.  Find an adult league.  Find some friends.  IDK.    First the dude from Florida gets caught playing AAU ball by his former coach and now this guy.  This dude just might be more off than 50 Tyson and I mean that in a really nice way.  He's putting youth at risk.  If you read deeper into the story, everything about him from the way he talked, acted, and so on was very child like which is why he was able to mislead an entire city's parks and recreation department.  To make matters worst, this guy tries to enroll in a middle school at 21years of age with young boys and girls, now that's SCARY!

  2. Yes that is very scary considering my son will b in middle school nxt year. Something is definitely wrong with him, mayb he's missing an authority figure in his life, or he has a mental problem. Either way he needs HELP! And he is even more worse than 50 Tyson! What is the world coming to?
