Bama baseball

What's wrong with youth sports today led to this across all of sports. Especially baseball…far too many classless organizations with win at all costs approaches melded with social media and internet marketing of youth athletes….pitiful.

I saw that. Classless. I don't understand how they thought that was ok. Hopefully that will be corrected going forward.
I was taught you win with class and lose with class. My dad would've beat my backside even when I was in college had I done something like that. Bama isn't the only one as I can remember the UT football player flipping the fans off. Totally uncalled for.

I agree
. No way would my Dad let me act like that. They need discipline in their homes. I hate they did that because I think they have a pretty good team this year and have been excited for the season.

Sounds like the coach is apologizing for the photo, not for the actions of the players
I hate all things bammer but truth be told class is lacking these days, on every team.
IMO the beloved Vols baseball team falls. To this classless category for me as well. Some of the on field antics and "celebrations" under Vitello have been classless as well under his tenure IMO.
Even golf has been affected by this and social media…it takes away from the sport (which ever one it is). Heck, athlete's actions like this really started to devolve with John McEnroe and tennis IMO.
Do you have a link to the comments from the coach? I'm curious about what he had to say about this and hope he is giving the players a bit of a lesson for this.
Normally, I would agree with you. But, in this case it was directed at Bama fans, so I'm torn
!I'm also not a fan of bat flipping, etc after hitting a HR, etc. But, hey I'm old, and it's a different time.

My apology. I thought it was the coach making the comment in the original but it was a player
I agree especially with the 2021 team. They've settled down some but still too flashy for me. Act like you've been there before.
