What's wrong with little league? What's better about the other leagues that I have never heard of?

There's nothing wrong with it in regards to just a league for kids to have fun. The problem I have is that of all leagues to show espn picked little league.
They don't even play real baseball. They can't steal, can't run on dropped strike threes, etc. This is the only youth baseball league that I know of that has these modified rules.
The other problem I have is that espn makes these kids out to be baseball gods who are going to be the future of professional baseball. This just isn't true, a large number of these kids will struggle to succeed in high school ball because they will be completely under developed by the time they reach high school.
I don't like the fact that they air youth baseball at all, but if you're going to air it, at least show the best youth players playing by actual baseball rules.
