Reply to "OMG....the horror"

Ok I will be the middle ground.....Sort of.

While of course this isn't language the player hasn't heard before and possibly might have just directed at the umpire himself.....As an ump in a college game, you just can't go there.

The umpire is  getting paid to de-escalate unsportsmanlike conduct, not add to it.

So while the player will survive the naughty words the ump is still in the wrong. As long as he apologizes and doesn't have a history of this behavior I think a suspension is a sufficient punishment.

I don't think he needs to be banned as long as this isn't a pattern of behavior.
