Yeah, just spoke to a brother-in-law who lives there. Seems some kid lost in a Madden NFL tournament and didn't take it very well.

Yea great, now video games will get the blame.

Metal detectors at future video game tournaments, I'm afraid.

Competitiveness is cool..... but blowing people away 'cause you lost is just a little over the edge.

Florida is becoming a real life GTA.

GTA?

BTW, Hawaii won 3-0. Only the 2nd time in the last 7 years the U.S. team has won the championship.

That's a cool accomplishment, I agree with your thoughts about kids showing good sportsmanship but adults somehow abandoning it, money and power currupts I guess.

GTA is a game, grand theft auto.

Man, I just a kick out of seeing these kids play like tiny major league players. Diving catches.... long home runs..... brilliant double plays..... performing under pressure in front of huge crowds..... heads up baseball in general.

Then, at the end of it all..... they're just 12-year olds hoping the adults take them out for some ice cream after the game.

Bump.

Enjoying this year's LLWS action.

Last year they only had U.S. teams participating because of COVID. Good to see the International teams back at it again.

I still think the tournament is a bit unfair in that it's always the U.S. tournament on one side of the bracket, vs the International tournament on the other side. You're always assured a U.S. team in the Championship Game.

This year Hawaii has a humongously good team AGAIN. Just watched them blow out a team from Tennessee in 4 innings with the 10-run rule.

On the International side the survivors so far are: Mexico, Curacao, Nicaragua, and Chinese Taipei.

Some of these kids look like they'll be ready for the Major Leagues in just a few years.
