It’s shocking that he would be a witness to the most egregious call in little league history.

* i clicked the link and saw it was over 8 minutes and closed it.  So if i missed something important can i get a TL;DR version?

Kid on our team got an sliding glove recently. I’ve been kidding him calling it an oven-mitt and making lots of baking related jokes. Teammates have caught on. Very fun.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I watched!

Highlights:

-90% of umpires in Nashville listen to his show
-Ump took a 10 minute bathroom break after half an inning
-Ump made a kid take off a chain
-Ump called out two batters for throwing their cats
-Kicked out for saying "you gotta be rough ridin' kidding me"
-Clay was there with his parents
-The umpire is being paid, therefore he is a professional that should be held to a professional standard
-"You're a loser" - Clay talking about the ump
-If they sent the tape to this loser's boss they definitely would have agreed that it was a bad call, like they do in the NFL when they miss calls

Also his kid was batting and called out for batter interference on a throw to third. To Clay, this didn't make sense because the kid at third was easily safe.

That’s wild.  I like the mask, seems like a no brainer to me.  Ours wear the jaw extension now, mask will probably follow eventually.

just now catching up ITT but that's called a C flap, my man.

So will magas reject clay because they believe in respect and sportsmanship and that a little league game is the absolute last place a non-pos yells swears from the stands OR will they join him being a victim and whining like a total beta?

we shall see.

The Clay Travis thing:

1. The batter interference on a catcher's throw is a rule, although I've never seen it called in a game to my recollection. Just because you haven't seen a rule enforced doesn't mean it's incorrect.

2. Most complexes or leagues or tournaments have rules about throwing bats and jewelry. Most umpires are too lazy to enforce it, or choose not to as a way to avoid confrontations. I'm guessing this dude is a letter of the law type.

3. I can't really understand the mindset of Clay. All this makes him look is childish and unkind.

Well, that’s Clay Travis’ entire vibe his entire life. So it plays.

He knows it makes him look like a huge douchebag, but it slaps for his followers, so he plays the hits.
