Which proves my point, who is God in this situation? Who gets to make up the list of what is permissible and what is not?

This is a pure example that what may be questionable to one is humorous to another.

Sticks and stones, slings and arrows. Words and gestures are nothing, but what someone chooses to make them. Ignore any perceived negativity or fear and they lose any power over an individual or group.

After all, didn't someone recently mention that a smile in the direction of a player or coach just infuriates them that much more? Should we ban umpires from smiling?


JMHO,
