    About a year ago, Sports Illustrated ran an article talking about how young children in the New England area couldn't wear Yankee jerseys in little league because of the verbal abuse that they were put through by the adults. Many towns actually disbanded the "Yankees" in order to stem the abusive language aimed at their children. Now people in New England are upset when somebody returns the favor? "It isn't right to do that to a child?" Oh boo hoo. Think about that the next time your chanting "Yankees Suck" at a little league game. Hypocrites.

    You have that wrong. The Lowell Spinners, the Red Sox Single A affiliate offered to pay for new uniforms for leagues that got rid of any team called the Yankees and replaced them with Spinners.

    No, it was because the kids themselves didn't want to play on a team called the Yankees...
