Ump Bans Youth Team From Speaking Spanish


Friday, July 29, 2005

METHUEN, Mass. (AP) -- Coaches on a Little League team filed a protest with the league after an umpire ordered the players to stop speaking Spanish during a state tournament game this week.

Coaches said the order demoralized the Methuen players and cost the team the game.

"This never should have happened," coach Chris Mosher told the Eagle-Tribune newspaper. "These are 14-year-old kids who should not have to deal with any of this, especially in Little League baseball."

I always thought Little League was for kids 12 years old and under. Remember Danny Almonte? He was 14 and ruled ineligible. Sounds like this coach might have ineligible players if that's a direct quote.

At least if any of these kids make the BIGS, they will already know Spanish.

Why don't these fukers learn English when they get to the US? Same here with the Gringos here in CR. I know some AMericans that have been here for at least 10 years and can hardly speak Spanish.

And they are the same people that bitch about immigrants in the States that don't speak English.
