Little League World Series canceled for first time because of coronavirus

[Yappi]

"After a thorough assessment of the impact the devastating COVID-19 pandemic has had on 6,500 community-based Little League programs in 84 countries and based upon the direction of governmental and public health authorities, and in consultation with medical professionals and our Board of Directors, Little League International has made the difficult and disappointing decision to cancel its seven World Series tournaments and their respective regional qualifying events."

The right decision.

It really sucks, big time. But I totally understand why they had to make the decision.

Not really surprised by this considering there are no little leagues operating as of May 5th. All leagues around the world would've started by now.
