I hate to discount the kids potential/talent but has anyone been watching the videos on the news? From the reports I've seen and the footage of him throwing, it doesn't look that extraordinary It's been awhile since I've seen a 9-yo pitch though. Am I off my rocker?

Whose fun takes precedence? Jericho's, or the other kids who can't hit off him? Frankly, from what I've read, it seems as if one of the board members has inserted himself into this to ensure his previously undefeated team wins the championship. This league has, hopefully, made a name for itself now; and maybe a new motto. "Don't send your really talented kids here, we won't let them play." Youth sports are about talent development, character building, fun, competition, and exercise. The league's policy has sacrificed three of these (for all the kids) for the benefit of one of them (for most of the kids). What are these kids going to do when Mom and Dad aren't there to tell the other job seekers they can't compete because they're too good?

Rugged individualism and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps is what made America great. If you want to talk trash about this fine nation, I suggest you take it somewhere else, because you won't find an audience here.

I think it's more of a parent problem than a kid problem...mommy who barely knows how to spell baseball, sees her little johnny strike out three times comes home crying and instead of teaching your kid that either you get better or sometimes you're not going to get a hit every time and some players are simply that good...no matter how much mommy and daddy spend sending you to expensive camps...you might get owned at the plate a time or two...
but instead they try to kick the kid out of little league because he's too good...what a joke.

LMAO.... You had better thank your Maple Leaf that America is here. It's America that keeps Canada safe, it sure as heck isn't France. As for the overall theme of this thread, the league is way out of line here. The only thing being taught to these kids, is that if they can't compete on the same level as another, complain, cry and whine, mommy will fix it for you. |
