being dual lingual myself I'd say giving instructions no one else understands could provide a huge advantage over the other team, it makes it an unfair playing field!

He should have insisted they text messageed in ebonics instead.

How much did they lose by?

[dmz]

Did they have to stop using hand signals for their pitches as well?

What a maroon.

Coulda been worse then damage to their self-esteem.
Cop walks onto field and orders them to stop throwing baseballs.
Of course they don't have a clue, so he shoots them all in the legs.
Lo siento mucho, pobrecitos.

I would actually encourage Little League players to learn to speak Spanish if they have pro aspirations. Spanish speaking players abound in MLB. Speaking Spanish is a valuable skill in the majors. Ask Tommy Lasorda.

Question - Are these Dominican kids ringers?

[MEGoody]

The incident occurred when a bilingual assistant coach shouted out instructions in Spanish to the team's 14-year-old pitcher and catcher, who are immigrants from the Dominican Republic and speak little English, the Eagle-Tribune newspaper reported.

Sure. That will help them learn English.

Little league umpries don't make much money anyway.

I don't see this guy losing any sleep over it.

He did the right thing. Speak the freakin' language already.

I could speak English when I was 2 years old. If your in this country, crack open an English book already.
