What the big deal about showboating is in the LLWS......so what if they do that? Isnt there freedom of expression in this country? I see NOTHING wrong with it.

And I would be on the other end of the spectrum. It's a little thing called SPORTSMANSHIP.

Re: I dont get......
Freedom of expression does not mean you have to build yourself up by putting someone else down. That point of view is just selfish and shortsided. What if your son was the one who gave up the Home run? Would you really be so "open minded" about freedom of expression? Puuuuuuulease!!Comment

Your right, I am, but what I'm watching isnt SO bad.......I mean if they were talkin trash and everything, then thats worse, but cmon, a home run trot, a jump out of the box, so what man.....let them be kids.....but the called shot was a little bit off in my book, I wouldve laughed my *** off if he struck out.

Re: I dont get......
Talk is one thing....but Dude - he took a good 3 minutes to go around the basepaths in a small LL field and that "duck walk?"
You know that was over the top 
...and one more thing - If you call a shot - YOU HAVE TO HIT A HOME RUN BEFORE YOU START FLEXING!!! The kid only hit a double and sarts chest thumping like he did something...sheesh

Re: I dont get......
most MLB sluggers don't even show off at all. Sammy's HR hop is part of his swing, and Bret Boone's bat-flip is part of his swing too, not showing off.
I hate LLWS even MORE right now, because they are still stupid. Not only do they show off, but they can't even do that right.Comment

Re: I dont get......
Your kidding, right? Part of there swing? So I guess that hop really helps his power after the ball is half way to the fence? And he always does it on ground balls too, because it is part of his swing? Oh now I get why Sosa gets out sometimes, its because he isn't able to finish his swing, he doesn't get to do the hop.Originally posted by Jay BilasComment

Eventually, these kids are going to learn not to do things like that. The kid who "called" his shot would've gotten knocked on his *** on the first pitch if he were playing on the high school level or higher. The same for that kid who waved goodbye to his home run and then showboated on his way to home plate. Even if the parents and coaches don't care, the opposition doesn't tolerate that type of behavior. You just don't show up the other team without paying for it.Comment
