Try to imagine how many times I should 'ban' foreign language on an italian softball field....
In our national league there are several foreign players and coaches (USA, Canada, Australia, Czech Republic, etc.) and they often speak to each other in a language that CAN'T be italian...
And much more than this: right now there's a European Championship playing (Female Fastpitch) with teams from (not in alphabetic order)
Belgium, Croatia, Czech Rep., Germany, Great Britain, Greece, The Netherlands, Italy, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Austria, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Israel, Slovakia, Ukraine.
You can easily imagine there are at least 18 (YES: eighteen) different languages on those fields!
How the umpires over there (Prague, Czech Rep.) should manage this????
Greetings from Europe!
A.
