Gay softball, extra innings
February 29th, 2008
If I had received this note, which just arrived in my Inbox, I probably would have thought Jaymee Johnson was dead, too. Johnson is the former recruiting coordinator who recently admitted to misappropriating money from Dallas’ gay softball league. Here is the full text of the e-mail that was sent by Johnson’s sister-in-law to his ex-boyfriend. This e-mail is the one that started the false rumor that Johnson had died:
“Jaymee is gone to a better place. Please respect the family’s wishes and leave it all alone. He is not hurting anymore and is in a place where no one, including himself, can hurt him any longer. May god bless him and maygod bless you. In this time of mourning and sorrow please understand that the family has no desire to have any drama created so please out of respect for my husband, for Jolene, and for Judy, please just leave it all alone. He is gone.”

Me too. But we need to remember that this was an email between Jaymee’s family and Cody and it should have stayed there. Cody should have investigated a little further.

Please Bethany………….You cannot tell me that ANY rational, caring, and trusting person would not react the same way! Any of us would become upset upon receiving such an email, and we forward this information to everyone we know. Most importantly, none of us would ever expect for a person to make up such a devious scheme to “upset” Jaymee’s acquaintainces. Jaymee is responsible for writing this false email……no one else!
Let this sink in! Jaymee is the one who wrote and distributed the email. That is sick! That is twisted! That shows total disregard for any moral judgement!
Jaymee personally admitted to stealing from other persons and his own softball team, prior to skipping town. He told his best friend in Dallas that he stole $2500 from his team last year alone! Let me clarify the severity of this crime. Many players in the softball league barely have enough money to play the sport. Each player contributes a lot of hard work and effort to earn money for their team. Much of this money is contributions from the public……….people like you! Is there any part of you that can rationalize his stealing of team funds? Hell no!
Another point which should be digested…………….this is not the first time that Jaymee has stolen from the league or his teams. He has a very long history of stealing. He is a dishonest man.
Any sympathy for this immoral man only reinforces his twisted mind……….he thinks it’s OK! Well, it’s not!
From someone who knows the other side of this story-

The Honest Man in Jaymee has owned up to all the things he did wrong. He never denied taking the money from PSSA and because it was a “civil” matter he never would have had to. The PSSA softball people would have filed a civil case and then they would have recieved a judgement against him but they would have never been forced to make him pay. He states in all that I have read that he is paying it back. But yet I don’t see anywhere that any other charges have been filed and you choose to sign your name anonymously instead of to face him like a man. He lives many miles away (ALLEGEDLY) Kathy yet you still won’t tell us what and from whom he stole from. There is no arrest record or police report filed or charges pressed against Jaymee. He has a clean record. ( I just checked). It is a luxury I have the ability to do. I say to all of you disgruntled grumpy softballers consider the source. Jaymee sent the email to one person, and that person forwarded it out to all of Dallas before he investigated it and then he sends out a retraction saying he should have known it was one of Jaymee’s games. If this is true and that person knew all along that Jaymee was capable of lieing to him about dieing then he is the idiot. Fool me once shame on you……Fool me Twice then shame on ME. And Mr. Polk believe me Jaymee’s best friend would have NEVER told you that. EVER.
