Female softball players language

[Billyball]

Many umps I know have talked about this for a long time. We did an event last weekend and the vile, sexual, language that was coming out of these females mouths was worse than any men's league I have even done.

None of it was directed at us but most of these teams I do would rival drunken sailors with their language. Again this is never at the umpires just the constant disgusting crap they talk to each other is unreal. In the slow pitch rec leagues they are grabbing ass all the time.

Both my daughters played college volleyball so I have been around hs, club and college VB players all the time and have never heard the stuff I hear from the softball girls.

Anyone else see this on a regular basis?

I've heard a few choice remarks in a women's fast pitch league I worked in Virginia a few years ago when I lived up there. But these were adult women in their 20s and older. And when I played co-ed slow pitch, some of our females were known to let loose on occasion.

But I have never heard anything as you describe it in college ball or below. Yeah, there's the occasional utterance of a curse word out of frustration, almost always under breath that I can only hear when I'm standing close to the player.

I agree. I've seen it much more among "adults" playing slow pitch and rec. league ballgames than I have ever with 18 and under players. Here's where it gets funny (and sad) in my own personal observations over the years--I've seen these same potty-mouth disgusting "adults" take their own kids out of Little League because the coach yelled at a player or some parent smoked a cigarette 50 yards away from the field. Then the REAL reason shows the next weekend because the "adults" were more interested in playing slow pitch than taking their own kids to Little League. As a result, the kids end up standing behind the fence babysitting themselves while mommy and daddy are standing on the field with a cooler of Budweiser in the dugout.

I agree. Nothing objectionable that I have heard in 30 years of youth games. Oh, sorry, one "bad f8888888" game after a close loss and off the field. I have driven a school bus with middle school "students"; whom I wish were as clean mouthed as the players I umpire.

Gender does not matter, polite is polite, vulgar is vulgar.

But it's kind of cute when say, a JV catcher messes up, starts to go "Shiiiii..", and notices you looking, and tries to stop herself

All I can do is laugh....

Slow Pitch - situation normal, happens every game.

Fast Pitch - never. One more reason I prefer to call Fast Pitch.

Yes, and really don't care.
