Why can't they get this right?
 

I've been watching the Little League World Series and one of their main sponsors is Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. They have been running a commercial that shows short clips of kid's teams from different sports. One of the teams is what appears to be a HS basketball team.

Guess what? Some of the players are wearing "illegal" numbers. What a surprise! When will these darn ad agencies learn?

BTW - I wonder what number Tony the Tiger would wear? :rolleyes:

In kiddie ball, "illegal numbers" aren't a thing in most places.

I work the occasional YMCA game, and there are more 9s and 7s than I can shake a stick at.

Grrrrreeigghhhtt?

Reading Is Fundamental ...
 

Must be a high school subvarsity team.

Also. The Catholic Middle School League that I occasionally work, two seasons ago, demanded that officials enforce illegal numbers. We had coaches who refused the technical foul (didn't want to sit) and chose to let players sit instead. Stupid monkeys.

The main reason little leagues do that is that it costs more money to put a 10 on a jersey than a 9
"extra digit" :)

Yes, those running the league sure are.
