Sometimes some of us doth protest too much. This is not a PC world, and this is definitely not a PC avocation.
Oh, and I can go back into the 1800s on the whole pitcher's plate thing (it's baseball, but still...), so if you are going to blow the PC whistle on something bring some credibility to the table there, fella, er, ma'am, er, sir, er, oh, just shut up and get over the whole PC thing.

I am the first to complain about the whole political correct concept...don't get me wrong...I would never give some things a second thought in men's ball.
If you are naive enough to believe it doesn"t matter in other arena's...then who am I to try and enlighten you?
This is absolutely however... a PC world...and absolutely a PC avocation...
I remember my parent's...missionaries...who would not travel to a different culture until extensively studying a specific culture. Their language, customs, clothing, food...etc..careful not to offend someone different than they.
If you don't think there are different cultures within umpiring...then good luck doing the alternative life style nationals in Monroe!!
