ESPN responds to Sunday Night Baseball clip of Little Leaguers placing cotton on Black teammate’s head
Sunday night, ESPN aired an incident involving Little Leaguers that sparked social media outrage over the video’s racial insensitivity.
The 2022 MLB Little League Classic took place this week, an annual ESPN broadcast held in Williamsport, Pennsylvania from the Little League World Series. During the Sunday Night Baseball broadcast, ESPN aired a video of players from the Midwest Region Little League team sticking what appeared to be a cotton-like material on a Black teammate’s head.

ESPN has been running the Little League playoffs pretty much all day for a month now. It's getting old. Little League puts a lot of pressure on kids as it is, then running every game on national TV is a disaster waiting to happen for the players and a bore for the rest of us (except their parents).
Also it sounds like it's time for one of the teams to have the discussion about racial sensitivity.
