We discuss the reason behind this...and explain how this is another reason millions of fans have turned their back on Major League Baseball.

We reveal and react to the Little League World Series clip from ESPN. We discuss how the woke media is stealing the innocence from kids. We explain how the overreaction to this story is the reason the mainstream media has zero credibility. We also blast ESPN for using the Little League World Series to further this narrative.
