The semifinal taking place in GA means that the Great Falls team lost?

Team from Nebraska is in the regional final.  If they win, it'd be the first team from Nebraska to ever qualify for the LLWS.

I'm not generally watch much of the LLWS, but I'll probably have to tune in now.

I used to watch the LLWS all the time... and going to the event is still on my bucket list... but I hate that they show the crying kids so much on TV.

I wish they would stop showing it altogether.

Why kids cry!  Its a human emotion and is part of the game.  Ive seen professional athletes cry.  There is no shame in showing emotion.

There is shame in making money off of kids crying which is what airing the little league world series does

Then I guess NBC makes money seeing nearly every athlete cry when they hear their national anthem.

Its not making money off kids tears, its real reality Tv.  Not the fake stuff that passes for reality.

You can't see something wrong with televising some kid balling when they make an error or strike out and athletes crying for the national anthem?

Tell you the truth, Ive watched the LLWS every year.  Only times the kids cry is if they are hurt or if they are eliminated.   They dont cry that much.  If yor going to show kids leagues, your going to see emotions.  I really donr see anything wrong with it.  They also show the Cal Ripken World Series in Aberdeen.

Saying an organization is the same as the most corrupt, destructive, oblivious sporting body in the world isn't saying much

This Uganda team is a really cool story.  Game not going in their favor right now, but they're a lot of fun to watch.
