A bit of a facetious point on the new FED appeal rule

[Patrick Szalapski]

FED 8-2 PEN: "This dead ball appeal may be made by a coach or any defensive player with or without the ball by verbally stating that the runner missed the base or left the base too soon."

Is the National Federation then discriminating against mute or speech disordered players and coaches? I can see it now: "What? You want to appeal? Well, what do you want to appeal? Huh? Tell me, coach? There? Who? What? Spit it out, coach!" How cruel!
