This piece of news, I believe, is a reminder of the darkness in society to me. It tells me that when someone gets power, he gets everything.
The real reason for why Jericho can't pitch, obviously, isn't the so-called he-pitches-so-fast-that-may-hurt-others one. What if he pitched for the defending league champion instead of a team sponsored by Will Power Fitness? I guess in that case this news wouldn't be reading by us right now. Instead, perhaps some local newspaper would probably write how excellent and gifted this nine-year-old could be and how wonderfully he pitched. No wonder his mother was irate and threatening.
League officials were always saying that Jericho pitched too fast that might end up hurting others, however, nothing like they said ever happened. And there was a protest at the league's field by players and parents urging the league to let Jericho pitch. Didn't the league officials feel themselves groundless to say what they've said since it was not convincing at all? Sometimes we can see how funny people can be...
It's not a problem that emerges recently. It has been a problem since the division of social status existed, not only in United States, China, but all around the world thoughout history of human beings. We can't blame it on someone because this isn't an individual's fault. What we should do is pray to God wishing we are not the victims of things like that...
As this thing finally exposed to public, I think this gifted child has already got his chance to play. So telling the media is also a good choice when we unfortunately become the victims. Once it attracts the attention of public, things will be the way they should be.
Well, this is what I got from this piece of news. However, since the words are written by a person, who can't be one hundred percent objective, I can't say that the fact is like this. But at least, I suppose the author is trying to make us think in this way.
