The 2023 Little League World Series won't feature bunk beds for players staying in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

In a statement to the Associated Press, Little League International announced all beds will be floor-level after one of last year's players was hospitalized after suffering a head injury when he fell out of a top bunk while sleeping:

"Out of an abundance of caution, we placed all beds individually on the floor during last year's World Series, and in preparation for the 2023 Little League International Tournament, Little League decided to provide its participants with single, one-level beds for all of their player housing at each of its tournament locations, including those in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where the dormitories can accommodate all 14 single beds.

My guess it’s more about fear of liability than any safety consideration.

Out of an abundance of caution,

I have learned to despise that phrase, and the pussified morons who utter it.

[...all beds will be floor-level...]

Like a pallet? Why not put them in cribs?

We have become a nation of feminized pussies. Prove me wrong.

“I walked whichever the hell way I wanted to. “

Me, too. I got perverse pleasure out of pissing off the Karens and Kens. Dirty looks and sometimes mouthing off at me. Then I’d intentionally crowd their space and disobey the 6 foot rule. Eff them if they have no common sense.

Can you imagine somebody actually believing you are going to catch it from somebody else in the ten milliseconds it takes to pass them in either direction?

No one ever said a word to me or even looked askance that I recall.
But then this is still a relatively sane part of the country.
Hopefully, I’ll be ashes before that’s no longer the case . . .

I split time between sane North Idaho and totally insane San Francisco Bay Area. I couldn’t have chosen two more opposite places. Getting back to Idaho was always a huge relief.
