Season 4/Sacramento Boot Lickers Bankruptcy

The Sacramento Boot Lickers Bankruptcy was an incident that occurred after the Season 4 Hellmouth Cup championship game, which the Sacramento Boot Lickers won against the Long Beach Flightless Birds .

At the end of the previous season, Sacramento Boot Lickers fans watched with dismay as their bitter rivals, the San Francisco Boat Shoes , skated through the playoffs and claimed victory in a questionable Hellmouth Cup victory that was later tainted by scandal and litigation. As the Season 4 postseason approached, the Boot Lickers fan base was hungry for a postseason run, and the Boat Shoes were out of postseason contention, setting the stage.

The Boot Lickers finished the season in first place, beat the Atlanta Glitter Sharks and Detroit Grape Chews to clinch the Hot League pennant, and finished off the Long Beach Flightless Birds in the Hellmouth Cup.

Following their Season 4 Hellmouth Cup championship victory, the Sacramento Boot Lickers fan base celebrated in downtown Sacramento. During the celebration, several vehicles caught fire and were immolated. The scene that unfolded was an attempt by Boot Lickers fans to channel the Spirit of the Primal Fire and set the stage for the Final Judgement, which, sadly for Boot Lickers fans, did not occur.

In addition to vehicles being immolated, a single small group of individuals managed to topple a radio tower, which, being quite tall, caused extensive property damage to houses and buildings for several blocks.

Word of the destruction soon reached the Boot Lickers' clubhouse. Distressed at the thought of inconveniencing fellow Sacramentonians, all 120,000 members of the Sacramento Boot Lickers piled onto the team bus and drove to downtown Sacramento, where they scoured the streets looking for damaged property or burned vehicles, and left business cards with contact information and apologies for causing the damage.

The resulting flurry of legal suits and insurance claims against the team following these events buried the Sacramento Boot Lickers in legal costs. Their finances were completely wiped out, and one week after winning the Hellmouth Cup champion title, the Boot Lickers declared bankruptcy and began "reorganizing".
