Something happened that I\u2019m sure is no big deal to a lot of people, but it\u2019s just got this guy bugged.  I wanted to share it with you and see what you think. It\u2019s the second inning, and already up three to nothing, a kid from the Chinese Taipei team hits a two-run homer to right; puts his team up five to nothing. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_80155\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" alt=\"original\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushLittleLeague.jpg\"\/><BR\/> As he\u2019s rounding the bases&#8230; The opposing team is Canada, so you got Chinese Taipei &#8212; this is not the ChiComs.  This is Taiwan.  Big difference.  So you got the Chinese Taipei team; they\u2019re playing Canada.  The Chinese Taipei team up three-zip, kid hits a two-run homer to right field, makes it five-zip.  He\u2019s rounding the bases.  The second baseman for Canada gives him a high five and a fist bump to congratulate him for blasting a home run against Canada\u2019s own pitcher and putting China in front of his own team five to nothing. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>My friend said, &#8220;Look, I understand sportsmanship, but why in the hell are you out there congratulating the opposition, for crying out loud?&#8221;  He says, &#8220;Lou Gehrig used to be known as the guy who got knocked down more than any player in baseball history, and that\u2019s just the way it was. The guy hits a home run, the pitcher brushes the next guy off the plate. Now a guy homers and the defensive players congratulate him as he trots around the bases! <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"eZObject_80151\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rush-Disbelief_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>&#8220;There\u2019s sportsmanship, and then there\u2019s&#8230; Well, I don\u2019t even know what to call it.  You know, I\u2019m all for playing clean but hard, and then everybody shakes hands when it\u2019s over, but during the game?&#8221;  Do you have a problem with that, Snerdley?  (laughing) Snerdley says, &#8220;Yeah, but it\u2019s the Canadians.  It\u2019s kind of like the French doing it, surrendering in the middle of the contest.  Look, the &#8220;progressives,&#8221; the left should be really happy about this.  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=11868\">Once they have completely killed football<\/a>, they won\u2019t need to worry about baseball. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Just congratulate \u2019em right before surrendering. <\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know.  I kind of agree with him.  I kind of agree.  It\u2019s taking all this stuff just a little bit too far. But you know what?  When people watch this, I guarantee you, &#8220;Awwww, aw, aw! Did you see that? What a great sport. The second baseman for Canada realizes that that guy hitting the home run just did something really great, and he wanted to congratulate him. Aw, isn\u2019t that&#8230; I don\u2019t know, cute?  Isn\u2019t that sweet?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Isn\u2019t that nice?  There no need for hatred out there.  These people aren\u2019t enemies.  It\u2019s really good that they can congratulate each other. That\u2019s real sportsmanship.&#8221;  I\u2019ll tell you the last time I saw this, it was at Augusta during the Masters tournament. It might have been this year, and there was a playoff, and they\u2019re on the tenth hole, and it\u2019s Adam Scott. I think it\u2019s Adam Scott. It\u2019s whoever won the tournament. I think it\u2019s Adam Scott and Angel Cabrera, who has won it before.<\/p>\n<p>Adam Scott hit a phenomenal second shot to the green on number 10, and Angel Cabrera, who was across the fairway, looked at him and gave him a thumbs up, and the announcing crew went absolutely bananas. &#8220;Oh, did you see that?  That\u2019s the kind of camaraderie we need out here! Angel Cabrera recognized that a great shot was made by his opponent, and maybe a shot that\u2019ll win the tournament for his opponent and lose it for him. But he had the immaturity and the guts to acknowledge the great shot!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I have to admit, yeah, it was nice to see and a seductive thing, but Nicholas would never do it, and Tiger wouldn\u2019t do it.  They\u2019d be trying to psych out the guy who just hit a great shot. &#8220;That\u2019s no big deal.  You think that\u2019s hot?  Watch this!&#8221; It\u2019s all about the competitive nature of things, and there is a hearty criticism of the competitive nature.  It\u2019s considered to be mean, not nice, selfish, unfair, rude, all of these things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I just got a note from a friend of mine who is taking an afternoon off and watching the Little League World Series on ESPN.
