Fucking Kids From Shaolin

ESPN is now using a 5 second delay, instead of a live feed, for all Little League WS games because a foul mouthed kid from Staten Island was picked up by their microphones. Learning this news after a weekend full of loud and extremely foul mouthed 23 year olds from SI, I just had to laugh. In honor of the second Island borough, feel free to listen to some good Ghostface Killah tunes or feel free to read all about it courtesy of the AP after the jump.

From the AP yesterday:

Staten Island Manager Nick Doscher and one of his players were reprimanded by Little League World Series organizers yesterday after an incident Sunday during the team’s 1-0 loss to Lemont, Ill., in which the player yelled an obscenity and Doscher appeared to respond by striking him.

Staten Island, trailing by a run, had just turned a double play in the top of the sixth when the unidentified player swore as the players huddled in the dugout before the team’s final turn at bat. The obscenity was clearly heard on ESPN’s prime-time broadcast of the game, just before the network cut to commercial. It appeared that Doscher then struck the player with an open hand.

Neither Doscher nor the player was immediately available for comment. ESPN said it had decided to use a five-second delay for remaining Little League broadcasts.
