Seeing a few comments regarding players being ejected.

Honest question !!!!!

Should an umpire allow a HS Athlete to direct profanity towards him?

IMO, it should not be tolerated at all.  HS students directing profane language towards an adult is unacceptable in my book.

I 100% agree! It’s a game, kids need to learn how to respect authority, last game of his life or not. Cuss your boss at work, you most likely aren’t getting a warning. This is on the parent of their kid gets ejected. I can assure you if I cuss an official, they wouldn’t have had to suspend me. My dad would have dragged me off by the ear and would not have allowed me to play the next game regardless. Life lessons are much bigger than a game.

You are correct the kid lost his composure.  However, the cuss word was not directed at the umpire.  Fact is the kid had three balls sail by his head with one of them hitting him in the helmet during the first at bat.  During the third at bat and after two balls went by his head the umpire did not verbalize the call on an 3-1 count. The kid started walking to first thinking it was a walk.  The umpire calls it a strike and as the kid returns to the plate he walks in front of the catcher who is looking to throw out the kid at first since it’s a live ball.  The catcher then threatens the batter with a cuss word for walking in front of him.  The immediate return of a cuss word was not directed at the umpire but instead to the catcher who again had threatened him.  In either case he should never have used profanity.  Life lesson!

    • He actually had a pretty solid year for a sophomore starting in that district. I can assure you, it hasn't hurt his recruiting at all and that will only improve with the move back to the Wack. 
    • If Crumedy eventually has bigger aspirations than being in Jasper, every aspect of the program will be looked at when someone interviews him for any job. He knows that. The mindset needs to be that any time someone wears a Jasper uniform, that they're doing everything they possibly can to win. It matters.
    • This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up It's a poll but I could definitely see this as realistic.   From the article: Catholics in the United States have swung dramatically against President Biden in recent years, now boasting a significant statistical break towards his GOP challenger. Pew Research released on Apr. 30 a report exploring support for presidential candidates sorted by religious affiliation. The poll found that 55% of Catholics support or lean towards supporting former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head against Biden. Conversely, only 45% of Catholics support Biden in the same one-on-one pairing. The 12% margin of support in favor of Trump marks a significant shift from 2020, when he held an extremely narrow lead — 50% to 49%. Biden currently leads among Hispanic Catholics with a narrow 49%-47% split, but the close contest marks a major shift rightward for the demographic. In 2020, a similar poll from Pew Research found Hispanic Catholics preferred Biden to Trump with a staggering 67%-26% split.
    • You said a lot there. Truthfully, that is the root of the issue. Who cares what a kid thinks about how coaches are running a program? Kids play, coaches coach. For some reason, parents have this backward in a lot of places and its wreaking havoc. 
    • He's already stated he's a huge Clinton fan.
