soccer 08, i've heard your players say a few curse words in spanish when they miss a goal. it may not be directed at another player, but that's besides the point. no cursing should be allowed at all.
but the big problem is that officials don't know the spanish curse words. i say teach them all a lot of words so that the spanish ones can be dealt with as well!
I agree wholeheartedly - and I certainly know the language of some of our guys as well. (How do you think those who fail Spanish know these words - lol!) My point is in total agreement with yours. If cursing is a point of emphasis in the league this year among officials - then it ought to be emphasized in either language. I know some will say ignorant things like, "when in US then speak English." The fact remains that in the sport of soccer in the US, there are many Hispanic players who use the language to an advantage to those who do not know it. And unfortunately, there are equally many Anglos who use the language as derogatory and demeaning. I do not think either should be allowed.
I would say, as you, teach the officials - - - but we seem to have hard enough time teaching them proper throw in's and off-sides (uh, oh, I promised myself I would not enter that forum - lol!)
