casual profanity

[Glen G]

Everyone of my games includes in the captains meeting a simple statement.

"Guys I don't put up with any swearing. There is women and kids here and if I hear anything I'll come to you and you better tell them to stop or they'll be gone."

Works real well, 8 out of 10 go over to the usual offenders and tell them to be carefull. Even if it happens I give a little leeway unless it's a loud f*** or loud anything. 9 years and I probably have thrown 10 -12 for cussing OTHER than at me.

I don't care what any of you say. If I have little league games or little kids around NOBODY is going to act like that on my field. I've have numerous parents come up and thank me because they heard my warning after the swearing.
