Ah, the most openly racist “news” site The Root has, once again, contracted OFFNDEDITIS! This time they are losing their lunch over Little Leaguers acting like kids, which they are. Noah McGee, whose job description at The Root is Permanently butt hurt, could not take it, OH THE HORROR!
During a Sunday broadcast of the Boston Red Sox vs. the Baltimore Orioles Little League Classic game in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, a Black player from the Davenport, Iowa, Little League team can be seen having his hair stuffed with cotton. Other players on the team can be seen ripping out the stuffing from soft toys that were given out at the game and putting them in the boy’s hair.
As one would imagine, there was uproar on social media when one user posted on Twitter, “Did anyone else just see this on the Little League World Series?! They was stuffing the black boy hair with cotton!!!” along with photos of the incident.
OH, the OUTRAGE! The OUTRAGEOUSLY OUTRAGEOUS OUTRAGE!
Apparently, the Root was so OFFENDED that they did not even note that the coaches, and the kids mother said no big deal, kids being kids.
A spokesperson for the Little League World Series said in a statement, “During the broadcast of the MLB Little League Classic, a midwest player was shown with filling from a stuffed animal given away at the game on his head. After speaking with the team, as well as reviewing photos, multiple players on the Midwest Region team were taking part in this while enjoying the game.”
It continued, “As only one player appeared on the broadcast, Little League International understands that actions shown could be perceived as racially insensitive. We have spoken with the player’s mother and the coaches, who have assured us that there was no ill-intent behind the action shown during the broadcast.”
So, who at The Root is gonna tell this kid and his mother they should be outraged? How about the writer of this screed should get some help? Maybe stop looking to be offended? Maybe stop being a bunch of KARENS? The manager does not want to talk to you, A. he is working and B. You need to get the fuck over yourselves!
