What are we teaching our kids?

I was watching the Little League World Series (I know, I know, it's not that unbearable) and this came on. I stood in awe at this kid, and just how disrespectful he was. I mean, what kind of Little Leaguer says, "Is it all right if I just hit this next batter?"

The best part is that after he says he doesn't want to pitch anymore, he's completely stunned that he could be taken out of the game. If I were the coach, that kid's rump would have been firmly - and permanently - placed on the bench.

I understand that he's a kid, but where's he getting this kind of attitude? Parents? Maybe even major leaguers. A little sad if you ask me.
