Only if you allow it.
It's true that WP will come down with some pretty stupid proclamations at times. I was able work around the last one that tried to hamstring my Junior umpires. Aside from those, a local league is only as good as the people running it. LL, PONY, Ripkin, Dixie, or independent, it really doesn't matter whose flag you fly.
At our little park, WP has little effect on things during the regular season. It does get a bit heavy handed during the tournament, but that's only for a small percentage of the kids, for even a smaller percentage of the total games. No big deal.
Good leagues work WITH the good things that LL has to offer, and work AROUND the others. That's the trick.
