AS we learned as kids, "actions speak louder than words."
The continuing tragedy known as LLWS umpiring illustrates that quality umpiring is not a priority of those in charge. If it were, it would be a simple matter to fix.
It really is sad that LL teams go through so much to guarantee that the best arrive to play and then they are faced with much less than the best who are chosen to officiate.
Again, it would not be, from a mechanical standpoint, difficult to fix this mess, but, apparently, from either a political standpoint or just getting someone to care, it is next to impossible. So sad.
