Yeah, Rich, it's unlawful discrimination.
It could make a lawsuit, but I doubt it: kinda hard to make damages, although an injunction would be a possibility.
The bit about rule books in Spanish [ or Farsi, or Urdu or ...] is a red herring, as is the other guy's bit about "how can I figger out if the action was malicious if I can't understand what they're saying?".
Bottom line: no umpire, anywhere, has any right or authority to demand that participants stick to english on the field. Guys who do this are OOO yahoos at best, and racist bigots at worst. The TD was an idiot not to squelch this when they wenty to him/her.
'Course the Coach is a bigger idiot for claiming that this ruling "cost them the game".
You WERE right though, that the LL angle is pure coincidence: I've had to deal with this same stupidity in my HS/BRBB/Legion association.
