Tim,

I was'nt clear I guess. Your comment about Yeast was not controversial. It was the "You be a clown if you want" comment that I was referring to. I've never been a "clown" on a baseball field. In my OP I was using jargon that I thought was exceptable within the umpire community. I've had many a post game "session" with fellow umpires where the phrase "rodeo clown" was used in context. I dont recall that anyone was offended.

Rodeo clowns are flat out studs. I see no problem with using that term in situations like these, as it perfectly applies.

I also respect the opinions of those that don't agree.

In other words, I ain't gonna lose any sleep over it, fellas. Well, unless you roll a barrel on the field.

I agree with you about true rodeo clowns but as an umpire, I will not tolerate someone calling me a clown.
