Should Little League Baseball players join a union to enforce TV networks to pay them to telecast games?

Should the kids join a union to egt what they want to..."Get a piece of the action!" I think so!

They still enjoy playing baseball. Would you want money hungry people/businesses/corporations making money off you kid[s]?
