Put Your Dukes Up Against the Little League

I don't know if you heard about this story but it happened a few days ago. Elijah Dukes, oufielder for the Washington Nationals, was benched because he was 5 minutes late to the ballpark. I can understand reprimanding someone for being late for work but make sure that you check the reason why they were late. Elijah Dukes was not only benched, but he was also fined $500 because he was in attendance at a Little League festival where he watched the parade of 54 teams and then made some remarks to all the kids, this according to Yahoo Sports. The Little League raised $501 via an e-mail campaign to pay the fine and then an extra $1 for administrative costs. Elijah Dukes was only doing what he felt was right and was punished for it, so what is next, we're going to start allowing prisoners back in the NFL- oh wait that is happening.
