In reply to: 1 conference has the balls to do something about bad umping posted by Domerduck

What coach/father doesn't teach kids to never react like that to a call. Especially when that first pitch wasn't even that bad of a call.... certainly not bad enough to warrant the show that kid put on.

Did the ump make that call personal? Yep. Did the kid deserve a tough lesson based on his actions? Yep.

The suspension is over the top. Reprimand, sure. But they just emboldened other kids to show up umps. Fantastic. Pretty much sums up the way the world works today.

This culture sucks. Kids need to learn the respect this kid didn't.
