He's the one that brought up this "fact" that a bunch of 12-13-year-olds can't beat a bunch of 16-17-18-year-olds. And continues to hammer us with this revelation. In other news, the sun is hotter than the moon.
Yeah, I'm wondering how, and why, this subject is being discussed. They're Little League All-Star teams. So what does the HS team have to do with the price of tea in China?
The point is ... that the LLWS teams which are sucking up hours of teevee time on national cable and the feont cover of Sports Illustrated ... aren't even as good as your local .500 varsity HS team at Hometown High, which draws crowds of 30 people.
Nobody cares, and what's more, nobody SHOULD care. Get this shirt off our teevee screens.
Of course they're not as good as a high-school team, since they are a few years younger. I don't like the pressure it puts on the kids, but it's just programming. There was HS football on ESPN all day today.
That shouldn't be on ESPN either. They need to start one channel for nothing but stupid-shirt kiddie sports no adults should care about.
