It has been reported, of course - its just that "why didnt you report" is such an arrogantly presumptive cliche around here and usually is meant to put the poster on the defensive side of the discussion. It IS hard to believe "in this day and age". It was slung from the dugout. Hard to believe the coach didn't hear it - our coach and many players did. It wasnt the only display of poor sportsmanship and the end of the game when it happened was chaotic. This is just one avenue of speaking up. And the reason for it is because it was so shocking, aggregious and unacceptable. We too have been in baseball around here for many years and have never seen such a thing. I am glad it is rare, but rarity doesn't excuse it or make it untrue. I dont find this kind of thing acceptable in any circumstances and dont think that the circumstances have anything to do with it and they dint need to be a consideration when holding the player and the team accountable. If a woman is raped, you dont say, well what kind of clothes was she wearing - in the same way, it doesnt matter if the little cupcake was angry - it isnt ok no matter what.
