The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported that an Atlee team member posted a photo on Snapchat showing six of the girls giving the middle finger. The post was directed at the host club from Kirkland, Washington, which Atlee defeated in the semifinals.
Atlee's manager told the Times-Dispatch that he disagreed with the decision to disqualify the team, saying, "It's a travesty for these girls. Yes, they screwed up, but I don't think the punishment fit the crime."
The host Kirkland team replaced Atlee in the championship.
The team is made up of 12- to 14-year-old girls from the Atlee area near Richmond, Virginia.

They should now post a picture of them flicking off the people who DQ'd them.
What a PC world we live in (I mean, the girls were dumb but suspending them is even more dumb).

This shite was stupid for the girls. You do this in the real world and make it public you get fired likely. Good lesson for these kids. The don't realize Snapchat and the internet is a forever public domain that can follow you forever
This is a softball game that is meaningless in their actual lives, bat can potentially leave a lasting memory on how to behave

Nah. I'd punish him, but not like that--the game was still played and the right to advance earned. This punishment doesn't fit the crime.

Wasn't Kirkland the one who beat Taiwan in Finals in 80's? I remember watching it on Wild World of Sports.

Little League Softball's rules and they can do whatever they want.

This should be everyone's take.

Youth sports makes a huge deal about sportsmanship and image like the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, etc.
It's not a right to play LL; you join their organization, you abide by the rules and the spirit of the organization.

No one is saying they didn't have the right to make that decision. We just don't agree with the decision. Which I have the right to do so.

Yeah but you have to understand the long-time stance of LL...and all the players know it.
Teams have been DQ'd or had to forfeit a game for refusing to line-up and slap hands after the game...let alone giving the middle finger to the opposing team...especially after you won and gloating.
Little League is huge on respecting your opponent.
The girls should have known that.

Maybe the DQ is harsh, but what the frick are these girls thinking?
In today's world, everything gets out in the open. 12-14 year old girls flipping off the opposition via social media is stupid. Personally, good riddance. Girls who do something that foolish don't deserve the glory of playing softball on the national stage.
