| 0:00.0 | Good afternoon. It's the Ben Ferguson show. Nice to be with you. Little League World |
| 0:05.8 | series is something many Americans love to watch. So imagine you're one of the kids in |
| 0:10.9 | the Little League World series and you are threatened with arrest if you don't leave your |
| 0:15.7 | hotel within 30 minutes because one of the kids on your team, it's supposed to be on ESPN |
| 0:21.9 | and it's supposed to be living out their dream of playing in the Little League World series |
| 0:26.6 | test positive for COVID. That is exactly what happened. It is a story that is not being |

| 1:36.2 | at the hotel. Why? Because ESPN and Little League International would not allow parents to |
| 1:42.1 | stay with their kids in the bubble hotel, which had total strangers in the hotel. These |
| 1:50.0 | children who many of them took it literally believe that they were going to be put in |
| 1:55.9 | handcuffs and taken to jail because one of them had a COVID positive test. Why did they |
| 2:04.4 | want them out of the hotel so quickly? One reason. They wanted this PR nightmare to disappear |
| 2:11.4 | as soon as Little League World Series or Little League International and ESPN found out |
