A 9-year-old boy has been told he's too good to pitch in youth baseball:
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Nine-year-old Jericho Scott is a good baseball player — too good, it turns out. The right-hander has a fastball that tops out at about 40 mph. He throws so hard that the Youth Baseball League of New Haven told his coach that the boy could not pitch any more. When Jericho took the mound anyway last week, the opposing team forfeited the game, packed its gear and left, his coach said.
That's right... let's just kill the spirit of competition in our youth so they grow up to be mindless drones that never strive to give it their all. Because gosh darn it, little Johnny has to have the ball lobbed underhand at him so he can hit it and feel good about himself instead of being pushed to become better. We just can't have anyone lose, now can we?
Ladies and Gentlemen, more evidence of the pussification of America.
