Whip it out at the ball game

Wave it around at the crowd

Dip it in peanuts and Cracker Jack

I don't care if you give it a whack

I for some reason watched the whole video. I don't know that I've ever cringed so hard in my life! I have no thoughts about the see-through pants, legitimately, I do not care. But good gosh and golly, is this what local news is like?! And do people really watch it? I'm just embarrassed for every single person that has appeared on screen during this video that's been posted. And confused as to who the target audience is. I'm flummoxed here, tbqh

Not only do people watch it, but they consistently rate their local news channel as more trustworthy than the major news networks, despite the fact that almost all local news in the US is owned by a single corporation that regularly forces them to air right wing propaganda segments. It's essentially Fox News but without the bad reputation.

edit: holy shit I just watched the clip. that reporter gets sexually assaulted on camera and just keeps going damn.

Yeah but have you considered there's a picture where you can see a players nut sack and I find that funny

Holy shit, that last part with journo saying the best part about little league is the kids underwear. Not beating the allegations on that one

Players only just started reporting to camp. I'm sure they can fix this. But I'm already tired of hearing about it. I see posts on social and hearing about it on the news now is just... ugh.

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Do they have to buy their white pants from a specific company? Is there no rule saying that they can't use higher quality or thicker fabric white pants?

the players have to wear the provided uniforms so that the company that makes them can charge fans 500 dollars a jersey
