Isn't there something else they could be showing?

ESPN2, at this very second, is showing The Little League Softball World Series. Coooooommmme on. Nobody can seriously be wanting to watch this besides

a) These girls' families

and

b) pedophiles

It's bad enough watching college softball, but this shit is ridiculous. I've seen three runs scored in the last five minutes entirely on soft grounders and throwing errors. I'll bet these poor little girls would rather be playing beauty shop than trying to please their fathers: men who certainly curse God every day because they hadn't been able to get a single Y chromosome sperm to score a touchdown.

It reminds me of how Chris Hart explains why the WNBA has been a failure: "If I wanted to see bounce passes and layups, I'd go watch a middle school basketball game"
