I kinda laughed when I first saw this article. I was curious to see some of the responses. I coach 7/8 kids. I play 3 games a week. I particularly laughed at the one reply of the bats fly off the bats because the are so light. Well, not that it matters because the balls of today are a soft core cork material. They are sponges so the kids don't get hurt. Carlin said it best, "The world is shit. It's made up of a whole lot of losers and a few winners" Parents are so concerned with safety that they forget the game. There's cages on the helmets. Soft balls and people are concerned about bats. Well, here's a thought, I have 9 boys on my team, do you think any of them wear a cup? No, the parents don't feel it's needed. You mean to tell me that if this kid got a line drive off the nuts as opposed to the chest and couldn't get it up the rest of his life, would they still sue? It's the parents fault for not the child properly equipped or trained to understand the ramifications of the situation.
