I coached little league baseball once and swore never again -more infighting than the Democratic national convention -the parents are horrible !!
As an example watch the movie ''Searching for Bobby Fischer'' and watch how the kids react when the tournament director locks the parents in the basement .

LoL @ that logic. Who gives a damn what he wants? He'll do what's right and follow the rules , just like everybody else. I bet he also doesn't want to eat his vegetables and he wants candy before bed time. Too bad, when he's an adult, he can do whatever he wants, in the mean time, he's a kid nd he doesn't get it his way every single time.

What's wrong with some people these days? He's a kid and wants to blah blah blah... yeah right!

Ummm, he did follow the rules. All of a sudden before the playoffs they have forced him to stop (when the league presidents team is in second place and after the kid turned down an invitation to play on the league presidents team). There were no rules against the kid playing. They're being invented now.

I just heard on the news that the league has decided that he can move up to the next division. I'm sure the national exposure that this story had played a role here.

That was never a real point of contention, though, was it? The issue was that his parents/coaches wanted him to continue playing in the league he was already in.
