cool report.

funny the story talks about little league baseball, however, the players seem to be way too old to be little leaguers 

Yeah I didn't see any Little League Patches

We aren't actually "Little League" at any level.  I think probably like most people, they are using that term to represent youth baseball.  These were 14u players.

I wonder if Little League contacts organizations like this news program and asks for a retraction -- to protect the brand / trademark and to help prevent it from becoming a generic label.

I think it already is a generic brand / label.  Probably like saying Band-aids.  Everyone knows what you mean when you say it.

It is NOT.

Right.  Although it is on the "endangered list."

 

"Escalator"or "aspirin"  would be better examples of trademarked terms that lost their protections.
