Cheering during game....

[CajunNewBlue]

Rule 11 section 9 .. players get ejected (removal from game and grounds) immediately for any "disparaging or insulting remarks to or about opposing players, officials or spectators". Coaches or managers for first offense may be a warning on second offense they go bye-bye.
no reference to anything "racial"..but we all know what we would do for that.

So, i guess i misspoke earlier. (like i've never done that before )

I've warned for a chant once... forgot the exact words but it was for a hit batter and offensive team in their chant called the pitcher a "beaner"... suppose by rule they shoulda took a EJ for it... but i didnt do it.

Yeah.... I'm thinkin In CA, having a chant with the word "beaner" in it would not go over well at all. Heck the team might start fighting amongst themselves.

One day, a friend of mine and his wife were walking through Target. The wife was walking a few steps ahead of my friend, and she turned the corner to walk down one of the aisles. As my friend was turning into the aisle, he hears his wife happily exclaim, "look, Matt, they've got beaners here!" My friend looks just beyond his wife to see a bunch of Hispanics looking at bicycles, then looks at his wife with a look of shock and disgust...

... only to see her pointing to a bucket full of carabiners. By the way. They're into hiking and all sorts of outdoorsy stuff.

Actually, that is a good example of needing to know before acting.

There is a player/umpire in this area who someone call "bean" one night because of his shaved head. Over the years, it has turned into "beaner" to which the individual has been answering to the point some don't know his real name.

A few years ago, there was an individual who took exception to someone calling anyone a beaner. It took more than five minutes to get this guy calmed down and explain that is the name to which this very pale caucasian responded and how he got the nickname. This guy still didn't buy it and insisted everyone should change because that word was offensive.

And here I thought I lived in the Land of the Free

iN the Army my First Sergeant had to fight off a racism charges... while taking a picture just goofing around he put up his fingers like rabit ears behind a guy. The guy, a jew, said the 1SG was making devil horns because he was a jew. Such a stupid thing became very very serious to a guy who had a put a lot of time into the service.

Darn. I've got a local college pitcher whose nickname is "Bean" (first name is Jill, and I guess it's from "Jilly Bean"). Guess I'll have to start warning them!

I don't think you'll have to worry about the opposing team. It might be the men in attendance you'll have a problem with.
