Little League World Series

A new photo from the Little League Classic shows a white player had the cotton placed in his hair as well.

"As only one player appeared on the broadcast, Little League International understands that the actions shown could be perceived as racially insensitive." A Black Little League World Series player was, indeed, not the only one wearing cotton on his head during an MLB game on Sunday night ... The Twitter account that shared the picture said the kids were simply trying to mimic a fellow Little Leaguer, who's gained fame for a white hairdo.

Little League World Series officials have said there was no racist intent after a video of players sticking a cotton-like material on a Black teammates head ...

A spokesperson for LAUSD said in an email to NBC News earlier this month that the district does not typically comment on pending or ongoing litigation. "That is traumatizing, and the young man looks humiliated," one social media user wrote. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Little League World Series said that while officials understood how the incident "could be perceived as racially insensitive," after speaking with the child's mother and coaches, they were assured, "there was no ill-intent behind the action shown during the broadcast."

The sports world took to Twitter to react to a controversial video from the Red Sox vs. Orioles 2022 Little League Classic in Williamsport.

And to the coaches/ leaders of the little league that allowed this you know damn well it's highly offensive and degrading," one fan wrote. "White people used to own slaves, Black people were slaves — and cotton was a huge product that generated wealth in this country. "If you're confused why this is offensive to some people, well part of America's darkest past was slavery," WUSA9 anchor Darren M.

Baseball fans accused the tournament and ESPN of racial insensitivity after a video showed white teammates sticking cotton in a Black teammate's hair.

People questioned why the boys’ activities were shown on national television and whether the Black player was OK. Did the Little League World Series struggle with racial discrimination in the past? How did the Little League World Series respond to the video?

When Little League World Series time rolls around in August, you are sure to hear a reference to the Stoney Creek baseball squad of 1965.

The late summer of ’65 was notable for Canadian baseball on at least one other count. That should take nothing away from the ’65 Stoney Creek team. The degree of difficulty for Canada has also increased since the LLWS has much more emphasis on the “World” part. Even with that lifeline of a double-elimination format, which Stoney Creek did not have six decades ago, Canada is typically in tough against competition from Australia, Japan, Latin America and Mexico and Puerto Rico. Ostrosser, a lefty-hitting shortstop, got into four games in The Show with the New York Mets in August 1973. A park was created beside the creek, west of Galbraith Rd.. As chronicled over the years, they had the support of their community. “You’re not going to see many finer plays than that in the big leagues, Jim. “You’re not going to see many finer plays than that in Little League,” said Robinson, who was a shortstop in his first major-league season with the all-Black the Kansas City Monarchs, before he settled in at second base in Brooklyn. Of course, Robinson was the hall of fame second baseman with the lifetime .410 on-base percentage who integrated minor- and major-league baseball with the Montreal Royals and Brooklyn Dodgers in 1946 and ’47. Fifty-seven years ago this week, the Hamilton-area team shot their shot in South Williamsport, Pa., falling 3-1 against Windsor Locks, Ct., in the final in front of a then-record crowd of 21,000. All 14 Stoney Creek players and their coaches were introduced by host and play-by-play broadcaster Jim McKay, who was seven years away from his award-winning, 14-hour live reporting on the terrorist killings of Israeli athletes and coaches at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

The second week of the LLBWS continues, as more teams look to stay alive in Williamsport on Tuesday.

Trailing 2-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth, the team from Hagerstown loaded up the bases, tying the game.

A video surfaced over the weekend of the Midwest team covering one of their players, who is Black, in cotton pulled from stuffed toys.

As only one player appeared on the broadcast, Little League International understands that the actions shown could be perceived as racially insensitive.

Mayervich started at first base but relieved Lucas Weisser in the second inning, pulling Canada out of a bases-loaded situation.
