Foul mouths at Baseball game?

Question

Last nite We took our son to his first baseball game. (It was a minor league game) Everyone around us was into the game, but there was about 4 guys maybe in their 20s. Evey other word out of their mouth was F this F that! That call was BS! You think I should have done something? The people around them seemed upset because there was alot of kids around. What the heck is wring with these idiots? What would you have done?

Answer 1

find an usher, or security, & tell them about their language. I believe  an occasional swear word is ok. The problem is that these guys were showing how tough they were, buy drinking, & swearing like sailors!!!!!!!

Answer 2

I don't believe the correct move would be to talk to them yourself because something worse could come out of that.  However,  I would go to an employee in the ballpark and have him address the issue.

Answer 3

I go to games all the time.. I see this happening everywhere. I even heard the things they were saying to Barry Bonds last year..My 6 and 8 year old did not understand.. I spoke to the usher and he only said, " no one like Bonds and there was nothing he could do right now...

the next day I called customer service because I have season tickets.. they sent me a refund for that game and offered my kids a baseball cap....promised it will not happen again or they would change my seats...

It has not happened to that extent this year...

Answer 4

It is very simple, you go find an usher or some other representative of the team and inform them of what is going on, they will usually either go talk to the people or just plain escort them out of the facility.  There is no place for that at a game.

Answer 5

Contact an usher or security guard and point it out to them -- and mention you would like the stadium staff to (a) ask them (successfully) to quiet down or clean it up, (b) escort them out, or (c) move your party to less offensive seating.

Answer 6

you should have called it to the attention of the security at the stadium instead of allowing them to continue to do it...

Answer 7

I was at an amusement park with my  8 year old daughter.

Right in front of us were two guys and a girl.  The guys were both 5 or 6 inches taller than I, probably in their early 20's and one guy was built.

Same thing, swearing casually, sexual content.

I said "excuse me guys, but my 8 year old daughter is right behind you, could you keep the language a bit more G rated please"

Their response.  "oh, sure, sorry sir"

I've seen many a people say directly to people, "hey, this is supposed to be a family environment, please keep your language clean" and 90% of the time, it gets a positive reaction.

The balance of the time, the people are either small men trying to act tough or drunk and that's when you call security.

Sometimes you don't have to even leave your seat if you have a cell phone and the # to the stadium.

I totally understand kids trying to seem older by swearing, I'm sure I did that until I was about 14, when I realized it made me sound stupid.

I'm constantly surprised at the language that comes out of adults.  Even when I've gotten emails on answers, if they swear or threaten, they are either 12 year olds or the dumbest adults in the world.

For people that think they have the right to act like they want in public is like the smoker's right to smoke anywhere and impact your life as a non-smoker.  They think they have a right that imposes on a right of another and they're wrong.

I rest my case Satan...

I think you are demonstrating that YOU THINK you are entitled to the world and your smallness is showing bright and clear

Answer 8

minor leauge game  there should be some sericurty to take them away i would assume.

I would do a complaint with them and say something to the people who own the home team.
