Run, f'ing run! Or, how to quickly get tossed from an 8-9 game

[Mudisfun]

U3 last night for an 8-9 LL Superstar game.

R1/R2 and I am in D (Its a LL mechanic for 3 man, 60' bases in the West.) Ball is hit to the outfield and as R1 rounds 2nd he hesitates. Base coach (manager) screams at the runner "run, f'ing RUN!'. 

Play ends, I call time and quietly show him the door. Can't be f-bombing 8/9 year old kids. No issues, coach left and we resumed with no further problems. EJ coaches team won 13-3.

After working U3 on a bunch of 8-10 Little League tournament games this past week, I would completely believe he just wanted an excuse to leave.

So, what if he said forking, farging (Johnny Dangerously, anyone?), fricking or frigging?

I get it, there's a rule about indecent language, and it needs to be enforced - not poking at you, but the system...and I wonder what leeway of judgment you get to have.

I'm just wondering when we are going to stop pretending that the f word is so dangerous, and that those 8/9 year old kids aren't firing f-bombs at each other all day long.

If someone says "shut the front door" to you, are you ignoring it?   Is subtext allowed?  See You Next Tuesday.
