A thread was started which named children and posted videos of the children.

I think it's distasteful to criticize college players as well.
Yelling in downswing what not.
Most college softball players had at least one High School classmate that went to fight for our security in a foreign land. Some come back missing limbs or draped in a flag. At what point do you feel that young adults that opt to play a college sport should grow up and no longer need a safe space from words that may hurt their feelings?
I would keep in mind that they are amateur (student) athletes and not professional athletes. Certainly if they do something illegal they are open to criticism from the media and fans but short of that everyone should be mindful.
No one is saying that student athletes shouldn't be held accountable for their actions by their coaches and universities. I am specifically speaking about criticism by media and fans on amateur student athletes. I don't know that they need a safe space but they certainly don't need the crap that is being said at games, on radio, and on social media.
Those are just my sensibilities though. Now if it's your job and you are being paid that's just a part of it...
