OM softball...typical trash

Softball, dude.**

So no bow on that ponytail?

The coach seemed to be caught of guard by the lack of response by the ump that was clearly too engaged to understand what just happened. At least she pulled her out of the game, but to purposely walk through the middle of 4 people to shove the ump is a much deeper rooted issue. 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.

Thanks Boomers.

Exactly. Absolutely no reason to walk between the coaches discussing a situation with the umpires. It's not so much a reflection on the team as it is her personally.

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.

Yep our young people have no respect for authority. Our culture has said it is OK with all the BLM riots, etc. The students get it honest though, see it in high school all the time.

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.

Is something that has been said about every generation going back to ancient times.

Isn't their coach a female?

Yes...

The Ole Miss coach?s wife was at one of our softball games.... she definitely can fill out a pair of powder blue tights.

In a good way? That's not what I would have expected.

In a very good way.
