What is the meaning of the phrase in a league of their own?
“in a league of their own” doesn’t have the same “unworthy” connotation though… and could have a negative connotation. You could look at some people who were outside your own clique or sphere of influence and say that, and mean that they are off by themselves and that is good… much the way we relegate people with mental problems or physical handicaps to separateness or non-inclusion. It isn’t always negative, but it could be.
