That's Why It's a Sporting Event, Not a Hugfest

So the opposing coach has the Little League pitcher walk the big hitter and strike out the next batter, who's a poor little cancer survivor with a shunt in his brain named Romney Oaks. So of course, Romney's father is upset.

 

"It's about going up against the weakest player, and getting the weakest player out."  Yes, asshole. That's what you do in sports. You walk the guy who'll score and pitch to Shunty. That's how baseball is played. You play to win...this isn't the Special Olympics...everyone doesn't get a medal. The coach who made the call said it was about walking the best hitter, not "let's pitch to the sick kid".

 

Exact quote from the kid: "I'm really competitive in sports, and once I start something, I can't stop." Well then...if you want to be competitive, I guess you should work on hitting the fucking ball.

 

Alright, I'll leave the kid alone now. Let's pick on the real douche: the father. This kid's dad's name is "Marlo". You should see the video. He looks like he gets beat up by bullies at WORK. And now he's pussifying his kid by making a stink about this. Look, Dad, you screwed up in the beginning by naming your kid "Romney". That's not a big-bad-ass sports name. And then you say: "What are we teaching our kids? Are we teaching them that it's okay to pick on the weakest person?" Sort of. That's what a competition is. The stronger fuck wins. You don't like it? Go enroll your son in creative dance class so he can grow a nice, big, healthy vagina like yours.

 

I like what you're teaching your kid, Dad. Instead of working to be the best, just wait until you get beat and then cry prejudice and whine about it. Good lesson. You know, it takes a pretty tough kid to survive cancer. I don't think a strike-out in a goddamn LITTLE LEAGUE game is going to ruin his life. Twat.
