Mr. Irish,
I think you are an insensitive, pontificating individual yourself. You have issue and need help.

The OP talked about fans heckling a player. Assuming that the fans were not doing this within the boundaries of the playing field, dugout or bullpen, explain to me why we would even think of involving ourselves in what was taking place.
As Irish posted ...."ball, strike, fair, foul, safe, out...." Same six words I've repeated to myself (and other umps) over an over for years. More than enough there to keep me busy or get me in trouble. Besides, the only rules I can recall that even mentions "fans" are the rules covering spectator interference, and the one about no coach, player, or team "inciting" spectators. It is up to the coaching staff of the team deal with school administrators/game management/TD if they feel it is an issue. |

Mike -
This cyper bullying thing I agree in most of what you are saying about game comments but this doesnt happen just in fron a group of 5 to 10- KIDS It happens on facebook, myspace, yourspace, faceplace, etc. all online To kids/children image/perception is everything - they can shut off their computer or phone - but the other 400+ people are still reading it and passing it on or laffing to others or whatever. It is different world - I mean some towns are passing out condoms to 7th graders |
