Kids know the score

I never really thought that sports radio would be a place where I’d hear a lively debate about parenting, but it’s happening. In an effort to avoid bruising the self-esteem of any young athletes (ages 9 to 12), the mayor of Beechwood, Ohio has cancelled all Little League All-Star Games and activities. His decree, based on an article written by the founder of the National Alliance for Youth Sports, argues that such games stifle sportsmanship and damage the young psyches of the budding athletes. I understand that.
