Opportunity vs the Right

I saw on the news this morning that some town down in Florida has canceled their Little League annual All-Star baseball game because they felt it "promoted that some kids are better than others." Now I realize Liberals have some really bazaar concepts, just look at No Child Left Behind, but this is so out there I can't help but feel there has got to be more to it.

HELLO, Mr. Obvious here, Yes some kids are better than others at sports. Thats the whole idea of an All-Star game. DOH!

Some one please splain to me what brainless wonder would have such thoughts. Maybe they don't teach it any more, but when I was in school it was taught that most of our greatest achievers came from very humble backgrounds and through hard work and ambition made it to the top. In fact in many cases their greatness was attributed to their extreme struggle to make something of themselves.

This is just so bazaar and so plain stupid I can't help but think there is more to the story. Perhaps a person of high standing/influence was pissed because their kid didn't make the All-Star team?
