Little League
Little League has probably shown the most disgusting sight imaginable by the baseball fans, The League and ESPN (The Broadcaster) should feel ashamed about showing such an event on national television. It was not only the players who were involved in the act, the coach of the team was also a part of stuffing black boy hair with cotton balls.
A Davenport, Iowa, League team was seen on national TV putting cotton in their black teammate’s hair. The ill-advised Little League segment has filled the fans with anger and the broadcaster ESPN is under fire for showing the hateful scene.
A Major League fan tweeted, “Did anyone else just see this on the Little League World Series?! They were stuffing the black boy hair with cotton!!!”
A twitter MLB fan re-tweeted, “Yes, I saw it when the boy to his right started it and got the whole team involved. That is traumatizing, and the young man looks humiliated. The @espn announcer had the audacity to say, ‘Boys will be Boys’.”
Little League players learning such acts at their age would turn out to be what?
Another fan tweeted about the Little League incident, “Protect Black kids. The @LittleLeague & @espn should be ashamed they allowed this to happen. The coach was doing it to. And the announcer said “Boys will be boys”. My goodness. How can this happen with on national television?”
Writer for BSO, Robert Littal, recently reported that a black child was the victim of a racist hazing incident which was shown on live TV during the Little League World Series and was promoted by ESPN.
Twitter definitely wanted answers from the Little League and ESPN on why they promoted a black child having cotton put on his head like a pet by his teammates and coaches during little league world series coverage, this was just absurd and unthinkable.
Robert Littal reported that the coaches also failed to take action in the incident and may have even participated. They concluded the report by including a passage about what it was like to work in a cotton field as a slave during American chattel slavery
