(draft TH 08/14.2024)
From Mt. Olympus To Skid Row & Compton
The greatest sporting venture in world history
Investing in American-Born, All Black, i.e., US Federalize Citizen Cricket Team
Presenting
The Compton Cricket Club’s
“The Real Americans”
Olympic Gold Medalist Lead Track & Field Athletes
We are offering first to Track & Field personnel such as athletes and coaches, particularly Olympic Gold, Silver, and Bronze,
…including with others, along with those of other sports genres to both lend their names and if able,
…the opportunity to financially invest in this new, promising, Compton Cricket Club’s (CCC) Cricket Enterprise.
Second only to Soccer, Cricket is astronomically the largest fan-based sport in the world,
…and will rapidly expand past it, when American black people enter the competition.
The expected results of this new CCC venture will both raise the level of competitive, sportsmanship etiquette play,
…and its subsequent multibillion-dollar, financial enterprise boon, especially to early foundational investors.
The whole Cricketing world is eying and planning with great, potential
…financial participation for the inevitable rise in the Grand Ole’ English, Bat-n-Ball Game,
…which is the progenitor of American baseball.
Such expectations are particularly poignant when considering that the coming of the 2028, LA Olympics,
…wherein for the first time in history, ironically, Cricket will be debuted with great excitement,
…as it is the Second largest fan-based sport in the world.
The irony is as follows:
Of all the British Colonies, the United States violently broke away from the Mother Country in 1776,
…252 years ago as of 2028, in the 1880’s, though a competitive international side,
…a Cricket Council rejected it, allowing only Member Nations of the Commonwealth empire to participate
…in world competition, hence, America became a non-Cricket-playing land.
Recently, in 1965, the Marylebone Cricket Club (CCC) in London, which houses the official International Cricket Board
…finally allowed the US to field a team, of course, with that “eye” of the boon that the Grand Ole’ English Game will have on the sport.
Therefore, in front of the world, the Olympics officially celebrate American Cricket,
…which of all the Colonies, America was the first to play international Cricket in 1848,
…when was challenged in New York City by the Canadians.
Nonetheless, today’s US team is comprised of ex-patriots from British Commonwealth Countries,
…having not one domestic-born member, just as the early American teams were void of American African, black, federalized citizens.
On the July 14th, Opening Day of the 2028, LA Olympics, while not in official competition,
…rather, the first American-born-domestic, all black Cricket Team will be present in a series of exhibition matches
The Journey To 2028
From the onset of the creation of the Justiceville, 501-c3, CCC Honorary Board,
…and the sufficient funds for the teams’ development and launching, as the building excitement up to 2028
…over the next 3 ½ years, “The American” will tour in the exhibition,
…as America’s Ambassador of Good Will and Peace to various, British Commonwealth countries.
Global Awareness-Publicity
Already built upon the international Cricket foundation that the CCC has established,
…and combined with some of the world’s most renowned Track & Field athletes, et al,
…with Joanna D. Hayes as Chair of the Honorary Board, all media outlets, particularly that of Cricket,
…followed by those of other sporting genres, including US national and international news,
…both traditional and social, will wildly cover this story in nearly every aspect imaginable.
Such world attention leads to many business enterprises that will earn billions of dollars.
The Homies & the POPz Feature Film
Adding to the world publicity is the fact that CCC is presently in negotiations with the Disney Company,
…and other outlets before the 2028 Olympics, producing a feature film about the journey of the Homies & the POPz,
…led by Ted Hayes, et al, in helping to cause peace in Northern Ireland between the warring factions
…of the Catholics and Protestants, which has lasted for 25 years. See details at: https://tedhayes.us/big3/ “The Big”
The Vision: 2028 Olympics and Beyond
It’s the intended vision of the Compton Cricket Club to recruit, create, and develop Its’ third Cricket (Cricketball) AD-venture, exhibition team:
- The first was in the autumn of 1995 of the LA Krickets which consisted of American-born men of the legendary,
…most innovative in US history, Dome Village for homeless persons, including families, located in downtown Los Angeles.This unexpected, unusual, American-born, Cricket team was the first of such to travel abroad to England,
…the inventor-home of the Grand Ole’ Bat-n-Ball Game, since the second decade of the 20th Century.
This unprecedented venture was endorsed by the then HRH, Prince Edward, now Duke of Edinburgh;
- The Second is the Homies & the POPz, a cross-generational team of Dome Village homeless men
…and young, Hispanic/Latino-Mexican, teen boys “strait outta” the City of Compton, California
…led by Ted Hayes and his two sons, Thee and Isaac…managed by British, Jewish, feature film producer, Miss Katy Haber.
The soon emergence of American-born cricket, “The Americans”, is the element that today’s international,
….Cricket world is longing for, as it is a potential, multibillion-dollar industry in the Grand Ole’ English Game,
….as well as raising the talents in it to higher, unprecedented level.
The very first international match was played in 1844, between the official USA and Canadian teams,
…even before England, the ancient progenitor of the game.
The match took place between 24 and 26 September 1844 at the St George’s Cricket Club‘s ground
…at what is now 30th Street and Broadway (then Bloomingdale Road) in Manhattan, New York.
The game was billed as ‘The United States of America versus the British Empire’s Canadian Province’.
Recently, being registered with ICC (International Cricket Council) based in London, England),
…the United States of America’s Cricket team incredibly won the 2024 World Cup against Pakistan.
However, consisting of only ex-patriots from various cricket-playing countries,
…not one of the championship team members was American born, therefore, technically, the “American” team is not American.
After winning the Prize Cup, the “American” team was erroneously hailed as
…“the first American Team in US history to play international, class cricket.
Setting the Record Strait
Of all the colonies of the British Empire, Americans are the first to create a national representation team,
…and play international Cricket, second only to England, the British traveling first to the USA and Canada in the summer of 1859
Nonetheless, before England came to North America, the USA,
…and Canada matched each other in the summer of 1844, a full, 24 years before England arrived.
In the summer of 1897, the Gentlemen of Philadelphia toured England for the first time
…as a First-Class American Cricket Team, followed by another in 1889, a third in 1903,
…and finally, their last tour there in 1908; then in the team traveled twice to Jamaica in 1908-1909.
Philadelphians were not alone in these transatlantic endeavors.
Haverford made 5 trips between 1896 and 1914, and again in 1925. The University of Pennsylvania, Germantown, and Merion came too.
Enter The CCC
Apart from a previous, American-born, Cricket-rich era that ended over 100 years ago,
…the “First” American-born Cricket team to travel internationally to England,
…was indeed out of LA’s Skid Row, dubbed “The LA Krickets”, consisting of American African,
…US federal, black homeless men of Dome Village for the homeless, created in the summer of 1995.
This highly successful Cricket venture was followed by that of the Compton Cricket Club’s –
…The Homies & the POPz, “strait outta” the City of Compton, created in the summer of 1997,
…which led to 2 more voyages to England, followed by the 2011 journey to Australia.
This unique, non-formal, non-highly competitive, professional league team consisted primarily
…of black homeless men of Dome Village, and Hispanic-Latino-Mexican teenage boys,
…including Ted Hayes and his sons, Thee and Uriel Isaac,
…but rather, an Ambassadors of Goodwill exhibition play.
As he is the primary inspirator of the CCC Cricket enterprise,
…Ted Hayes, America’s legendary Civil rights activist of no compare,
…has emerged as the “progenitor-father” of the Rebirth of American-born cricket.
The CCC Foundation
While the international Cricket enterprise of the Justiceville 501-c3 corporation,
…by far, not the actual, original “First team” of such, as there were many from the Colonial days
…to the early 20th, Century, nor to travel abroad, etc., it can be stated that the CCC LA Krickets and Homies & the POPz
…are the “first” since that grandiosely rich era.
During its era, from 1995 to 2011, the CCC enterprise has laid an unprecedented, even legendary,
…*documented foundation in the international Cricket world
Note: News media outlets of radio, television, including print, as well as documentary videos,
…including a feature film contract with Disney Company.
See: https://ComptonCricketClub.us
Of all the international tours, 3 to England, and 1 to Australia, that which was taken in the autumn of 1999,
…was/is the heart of the CCC purpose of a dignified, competitive sport/game
…that has the power to civilize civilization, emanating outta Skid Row and Compton.
Hence, the proverb, “Can anything good come out of Skid Row and Compton.”
“Built It, and They Will Come”
It is now the intent of the CCC to follow through and resume our role in the world of international tickets,
…by creating and developing the first, all-American-born team,
…exclusively consisting of young black men to serve as the “engine” of our Cricket Enterprise.
These young men from their late teens into their 20s will consist of athletes who for whatever reason
…missed the collegiate pro, or semi-pro level of their respective sports, from base-basket-football, etc.,
Unlike picking up guys from “the streets” and having to sport-discipline them, as they are already such,
…our coaches will simply convert or transform these highly competitive athletes into Cricket.
Please see the Letter the CCC sent to the British Royal Family, discussing this matter for their support,
…at: https://tedhayes.us/hrh/ which is the “Letter to the English Royal Family” and https://tedhayes.us/501-2/
…and “Basic Proposal: The Compton Cricket Club International Cricket Venture”
As the saying goes about building something to make a desire manifest,
…the CCC is offering you the opportunity to buy into the next, astronomically huge, multibillion-dollar,
…international sporting enterprise by investing in this unprecedented venture.
Therefore, by building a financial base we can effectively recruit the semipro’s athletes looking for a new lease in sport,
…the necessary coaching staff, front office management personnel, equipment, uniforms,
…stipends to earned salaries, promotion, and touring expenses, etc., “they will come”.
The Pragmatic Role of Athletic Investors
Unless each respective investor desires to participate in other ways, such as public appearances either in person,
…or audio/visual recording, as well, so there is no need for them to spend much of their time
…in the actual functioning of the enterprise, but to sit on the Honorary Board.
The Honorary Board Members will be regularly kept apprised and assured of their financial, and name reputation investments.
All management-related business is conducted by the Justiceville 501-c3, working board,
…and its operating staff, in conjunction with the CCC Front Office of the team.
