Glen,
I'm sure you are committed to the league and the game and are probably a welcomed volunteer for LL. However, we aren't talking about youth games here. And, please note, it isn't YOUR field, it is the teams' field and game.

As someone who has been on construction sights all of my life and as someone who had a USMC Drill Instructor at OCS, I can assure you that I can use profanity with the best of them and do not get offended when I hear it under the right circumstances, i.e., construction sights (except when women are present), OCS, and when I am quaffing a few rootbeers with the guys.
Profanity has not place on a sports field, whether it is a youth game or an adult game. I include adult level games in my last statement is because more and more players have their families there watching the game.
I think that it is a sad commentary on society when we tolerate profanity around family in the name of letting off steam.
By the way, I am a fan of George Carlin fan and a anti-fan of Jerry Falwell.
