Okay, after reading the replies, I have one comment. There is the breakdown of civility in American society these days. and I'm going to blame it on the last occupant in the White House. He he made it cool for at least half of the country to be rude, discourteous, and a bully. He gave a new definition to the word presidential. He's a role model to a lot of people. Why shouldn't they act like him? I am by no means a prude. but there's a time and a place for everything. These young men are representatives of their university. Is this the kind of representation you want? I don't. And I expect that Mitch would demand the same. I think this is a pretty typical leftist explanation. And while I do agree with the lack of being "presidential" with said person, from my experience, the lack of holding people accountable is by far the bigger issue.....I have a kid in Jr high. The bad kids are running the place because the adults are afraid to reprimand. It's total chaos, and not much is done about it. Teachers and admin are worried about being sued, or labeled, or losing their job. All that said, I don't worry too much about D1 baseball players dropping an F bomb here and there......if they are a turd they ain't gonna last long at this level. The bad kids are running the place because the teachers are not allowed to do anything. Can’t touch, discipline or do anything that might hurt the kids feelings. My Father taught middle school for 32 years. He would be fired in a second now days because he was a hard core disciplinarian. He was the strictest teacher In middle school, but had tons of kids he reconnected with later in life thank him for being that way and keeping them on track. |

Go back and watch sporting contests from the 80s and you'll see foul mouthed coaches and players alike. But you have to read lips. I think it's not worth noting if it's a "f%#* yeah!" or a dismal "f%#*" after striking out. If it's aimed at an opposing player, then it needs to be curtailed. "f%#* yeah" is ok. "f%#* you" is not. Must never have watched a Billy Martin game! |
