Bonehead Umpire school

Dumb and dumber.

"It was a bad joke that was not meant to hurt anyone," Evans told the Times. "We're a close-knit family, and sometimes our closeness allows us to say things or do things that we wouldn't say to other people. But no question about it, it was in poor taste."

There are so many stupid things that happen in my state, the State of Floriduh. I could type all night.

There is a reason why Florida is known as the **** of the US and not because of its shape.

When you think about it, there isn't a great amount of guys who grow up with a goal of being an an umpire. I think I'm the only one I know of who chose an umpiring career over playing.

Wow! Evans says the punishment was too harsh, but in another statement he is quoted saying...

Well Mr. Evans, yes it was in poor taste... and whether anyone can hear or see you does not make it OK. Apparently the punishment was well suited.

I got you beat by 6 years and you got that right!!!!

I am not shocked, most of FL is not as diverse as Miami metro area, or as tolerant.

That was about as stupid as the Marine snipers posting that picture of them under an SS flag.

Failure to understand history leads to these kinds of jokes. What is particularly sad is that no one in the group, especially someone with the name of Klein (a traditionally Jewish name) would have wondered if this tasteless display might have been over the top.

And at a bowling alley?
