Agree on all points. The difference in this discussion is simple. I don't believe we can change the behavior of these idiots and a bunch of y'all for some reason think we can. Even though every article, study and essay written for the last 20 years tells us fan behavior continues to get worse and worse. So I suggested an alternative solution to the issue, based on my belief that bad fan behavior is here to stay. Not sure why everyone is so emotional about it. Particularly the umpires, who are supposed to be less emotional. Lol.....I don’t think retail worker is the standard of civility to shoot for. In fact we should treat retail workers better.
Yes an ump needs thicker skin, but imagine if they didn’t need it?
