Another kid being influenced by a narcissist mommy wanting their 15 minutes of viral fame.

Ludicrous.

Marie Marcum, 9, didn’t appreciate it when an MLB-licensed game she played at a suburban Chicago Chuck E. Cheese blurted out “there’s always softball” in taunting fashion. Now she’s looking for answers and asking for changes after penning a letter directly to Major League Baseball.

Awww isn't that cute a little social justice warrior in the making.


If I get the story straight the girl and her mom were at a Chuck E Cheeses and a MLB baseball game was on. One of the announcers said "there is always softball" referring to something that happened on the field and this 9 year old was triggered to think that somehow the announcer and MLB looks down on softball and the kids that play it PLUS such comments might discourage kids from taking up the sport.

Wow that is a lot of emotion to be coming from a 9 year old.



Well she is getting her 5 minutes of fame but I think she should have waited for a greater cause to be outraged about.



I wonder if Warren or AOC have been reached for comment about this injustice yet?

I think she was playing an MLB licensed video game that had that canned phrase. That's how I read it anyway. A silly thing to get all up in arms about.

Well, if the 9-year-old was a Cherokee, I think Warren would want to rally against this!

She probably sucks at softball too. Maybe they can change what is said.

Maybe suggest Curling.

I'd like to see her mom explain that one. No, sweetie your hair looks fine.

Actually, that is nightmarishly mean, kinda a nice idea to treat kids as part of the human family also!!!!!

I bet that poor Littlekiddy is shivering in humiliation and emotional-agony.....and that really
is NOT a laughing matter.

We'll get over it in five minutes ... Unlike liberals who've been in a hate-filled rage since 11/16.
