South Williamsport, Pennsylvania - Things got weird and arguably racially insensitive during an airing on ESPN of the Little League World Series (LLWS) game on Monday.

White players of the Davenport Southeast Little League team from Iowa were shown on live TV sticking what looks like cotton on the head of a Black teammate.

"That's just Little Leaguers being Little Leaguers right there," one announcer said as he described the scene.

It was revealed that the boys were pulling the stuffing from a toy that was being given out at the stadium and sticking it to each other's hair.

A 30- second clip of the broadcast has been making its rounds on social media and has gone viral, sparking outrage from many users.

The LLWS issued a statement where they recognized that the incident "could be perceived as racially insensitive."

"We have spoken with the player's mother and coaches, who have assured us that there was no ill-intent behind the action shown during the broadcast," the statement added.

Those outraged by the incident still aren't convinced that this should be brushed off and that there's something to be learned from what happened. Others claim that this is just kids being kids, and that some people are simply "crying wolf."

The debate over whether the incident was racist has been predictably raging on social media.

Photos shared by TMZ showed that other white players were also covered in the stuffing.

But many pointed out that the lack of bad intent doesn't excuse the ignorance of the baggage that an image like this brings with it.

One social media user claimed that the boys were attempting to imitate Hawaiian baseball player Jaron Lancaster, but it's not explained how.

"It's a huge & important teachable moment for the kids and parents, 100%," they added. "But this one has been ripped out of context. Triggering many."

Sports anchor Darren Haynes somewhat agreed.

"To be honest, I believe the kids were not trying to be racist," Haynes tweeted. "They just didn’t know what they were doing was racist. But let this serve as a reminder why education is the best tool for tackling racism and discrimination, so I don’t have to keep talking about senseless acts like this anymore on TV."

No action has been taken following the incident.
