Little League® International Finds Jackie Robinson West Little League Violated Rules and Regulations

Little League® International Finds Jackie Robinson West Little League Violated Rules and Regulations







JACKIE ROBINSON
LITTLE LEAGUE TEAM DISGRACES AMERICA - 2015


 


 


There are questions
about the wisdom and propriety of nationally televising a sporting tournament
pitting kids who are 11-13 years old. But last summer, weren’t we blessed the
Little League World Series was on? We were
exposed to Mo’ne Davis, the little pitcher from
Philadelphia who became a role model and icon for becoming the first girl to
throw a shutout on such a stage, appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated
afterward.






 





 





And if Davis’s team
couldn’t win, why not get behind the kids from Jackie Robinson West from
Chicago’s south side? Roughly 2.4 million kids play in Little League
nationwide, but these kids must have been the most riveting, bowing after big
base hits, embracing each other and their fans with each run scored, each out
recorded. They were offered no advantages, and made no excuses for it. And they
won.

NAAA RESPONSE: “WINNIN
ain’t really WINNIN, if you have to surround yourself with a bunch of LOSERS in
order to WIN”
