    What about all the girls who kick ass in Little League?

    Not to overtly be a jerk, but-

    That kid looks 7. You're letting him dominate you? C'mon, ladies.

    Which, no doubt, plays a role in opposing teams wanting the kid banned.

    It would have been kind of funny if the guy was 6-4, 250.

    Of course! Maybe that also explains why there is 10-second backcourt violation in women's college basketball.

    Unless you happen to be male, since, you know, this doesn't apply to you either:

    Look, I agree with LTL, to a point. But the law is the law, and it's supposed to apply equally to everyone, even if some yuppie parents on Long Island don't like it because it upsets little Amber and Tiffany and Brianna.

    In the late 1990s, a charlatan candidate for governor in California used Martin Luther King Jr.'s views on equality to argue that we need to get back to giving white people opportunity.

    That's about what this argument feels like.

    Serious question:

    If it was OK for the boy to play in the league at age 11, why is now not OK at age 13?
