Rant on!

Wow, the umpire called him a liar, I'm sure that justifies physical abuse.....in some third-world country that we, as US taxpayers, support. Maybe the coach is a liar, but who cares.

I am tired of people using any little tic to justify any type of reaction. "he hit me, he touched me, he's on my side of the seat, he looked at me, he...he...he...well, he did something, so I'm going to kick his *** and then sue him."

Wasn't there a congressman or governor from IL a couple years ago who stated during debate on an Abuse of a Sports Official bill that actually stated some of "them" need a good *** kicking or something similar? Great country, America, the land of what can I get for free and home of the cowardly politicion who cannot find a job other than conning the electorate.

The people in this country have turned into a whining bunch of idiots. The only "right" people now respect is that to find the slimiest lawyer in the phone book to sue the next guy because you don't like the color of the flowers he is growing in his front yard!

When the hell are people in this country going to start acting like the people we want everyone else to think we are?

Rant off!

You are correct for softball. I will edit my post to reflect that it applies to a baseball game which was my intent.

Some coach hits me and I'm finding me the slimiest slickest lawyer I can. I may or may not like the color of the flowers in his yard... I'll worry about that when its my yard.

Lawyers and flowers in the same thread. I just planted my rose gardens this week. Lots of different colors.

I have a secret admiration for lawyers. We all hate'em till we need one.

But blaming people is so much easier than actually having to do something ourselves.

This is a major problem with our culture, one that has been about 50 years in the making. With the so-called leaders pointing fingers at each other rather than brainstorming to actually fix our nation's problems, I see no change in the near future either.

Wait....did I just point the finger at our nation's leaders????

Actually, I have been giving them a finger for years!

Scott, Scott, Scott.... How many times have I told you? You can't eject the leaders.

I agree that this is a big issue with sports it is crazy and some people who are the nicest people 6 days of the week lose their minds on game night. I caught myself many years ago when I was coaching my daughters all-star team....ball off of F6's glove hits my R1 coming from 2nd (4-5 steps behind F6), left fielder way back no chance at play, Umpire calls my R1 out. When I questioned the call answer was "Come on the runner is always out when they are hit by the ball" well I got mad and told him that he was wrong but this was his game to call so I would go back to the coaches box and show him after the game (no protest rules) and I thought after that game that I would not let myself ever become "that" coach, because I felt the possibility of getting too mad that day....I decided that I was taking the high road from that point forward, even if they were wrong I was going to show the girls sportsmanship and the way to go on with life when something unfair happens and that was a more important lesson than ever winning a game. I have shared this story with a lot of friends that coach and it has brought them back to reality some, but I just wish people would let the kids play a game, play their best, and we all hope they are officiated by the rules fairly, but if something goes against you do your best to fix it but if you can't say the serienty prayer and play harder next time.

But again in this story what is the take home lesson? Umpire shouldn't have called coach a liar, I can't defend that....but if someone calls you a name you punch them? Great lesson to teach 10U....

The take home lesson for the girls is: solve your problems without violence, or else you go to jail.

Point a finger at our nation's leaders???? Not possible.

You cannot point a finger at something which does not exist. This country is in dire need of a leader instead of the shepherds the electorate has been duped into placing in positions of authority.

You are aware that I was using the term in the familiar sense, weren't you? Not the literal meaning.

Either way.

What is lost here is the effect on both teams. We're talking about 10 and under here! Do these leagues do any backround checks before making some moron their leader. Also if it's true that the umpire called the coach a liar he's another guy who would need a talking too from his UIC. Some times I wish the parents would drop the kids off and come back after the game is over and let kids play!
