Go ahead and start a thread in the freeforall forums. Joseph moved a thread recently to get non-baptist feed back. It should be okay for us to comment.

When I was in Little League, we only sang the star spangled banner. I don't know what that person is talking about.

Little League is an international organization, and I serously doubt that it is a policy of the organization. Maybe someone should contact the headquarters about it?

The Little LeagueŽ Pledge

--------------------------------------------------

I trust in God.
I love my country
and will respect its laws.

I will play fair and strive to win.

But win or lose
I will always do my best.


I don't know that the Little League receives any state subsidies, so there may not be much anyone could do.

The Little League is otherwise noted for scheduling games on the Sabbath and occasional violent behavior by adults.

I was in Little League, but I don't remember taking any pledge.

You were probably too busy checking out the catcher's kid sister, you dirty little atheist, you.

1. I was in grade school.
2. I was still Catholic.
3. I don't recall anyone's kid sister coming to the game, I was too busy being yelled at for dropping every fly ball ever hit to me.
