Salute This Man

[L.A. Umpire Guy]

It's very likely that you and Mr. Jones are from entirely different economic backgrounds. Regardless, he did what he did for love of the game and the children in his community.

I believe your comments were rude and insulting to Mr. Jones. I simply pointed out that there are many others who are similar straights as Mr. Jones and offered a way for you to put your money where your mouth is.

And I simply pointed out that you are prejudiced and judgmental, which you are.

I SALUTED him. Do you comprehend standard English? I truly have respect and compassion and appreciation for the guy and commented that I would have decked him out if the circumstances were conducive to it. And I meant it and I've done it before, despite what prejudiced, judgemental guys like you think and say.

I merely quipped that after going through all of the paces we go through it's a tough sight to see someone geared like that. Where do you get off?

Do you know what Walt? You need to go out and help more underprivileged people play this game before you pop off at others with your shallow judgements.
