Why!!!

Why does an umpire even acknowlege what fans say? 90% of the time they don't know the rules and they certainly don't know mechanics. All you do when you acknowlege a fan is throw gasoline on a fire. Ignore it unless it gets to profanity and is inappropriate for the players to hear. If that happens, go over to the coach, take out your line-up card as if you're talking about the game and politely tell him that he needs to remove the fan. It is his responsibility to control his parents and fans.
