Lack of respect for the coach, the umps, the game and clearly herself. This is the product of society today.....no discipline and everybody gets a trophy, regardless. Hopefully UM or the coach disciplines her in some other kind of a way.

I agree as it would appear from a 10,000 foot level that this was not a first time show of disrespect. Eventually a persons integrity and character will show through. State has had their fair shar of moments of low character and/or integrity. Its a multi-generational problem as I have seen it on a consistent basis over the years working with young adults. Lack of discipline will always show its ugly face eventually. Prayerfully this young lady will see the tape and think to her self "how embarrassing" and learn from it rather than "hey did yall see what I did" and think that its ok. Time will tell.

Unfortunately, along with a lot of other poor influencers, you are correct as their points of influence are not very wholesome these days. The days of good role models seem to be a lost thing of the past. And social media is just a conduit to encourage and reward bad decisions and behavior.

This is in no way a defense of the players but I also thought the Ump didn’t exactly take control throughout that whole sequence either. Gillespie was in the area of being tossed, she was noticeably jawing at the Ump for a pretty good while and once she pointed the bat, the Ump had every right to toss her. Erroneously tried to toss the other batter for obviously less bad conduct, then the bump should have been an immediate toss.

Why? He sounds like a broken record. How many more posters need to blame "society" for some stupid act by a privileged asshole. One thing we love and that's generalizing. Your parents thought your generation was bad and grandparents hated your parents' one... blah, blah, blah.
