Fearne the man in Cairns?

I was at Mt Barker today watching a great ABL final, and there was a large contingent of Westies supporters and as you'd expect even more Mavs fans.

During the game, there were three incidents in particular that disgusted me.

1. West player (starter, not sure who) yelling profanities at centre court after being called for a foul. He yelled this loud enough for every one in the stadium to here.

2. West player (number 10) getting subbed out and kicking the speaker on his way to the bench. I saw him do this, as i was sitting right behind the speaker.

3. One of the West players (a starter, but again i am not sure which one), hit a shot, Mavs called a time-out, and as he ran to the bench past the scoretable he yelled out "motherf***ers". I am not sure if it was directed at the officials, but it was certainly in our direction.

I was quite disappointed by these incidents, as it somewhat marred an otherwise enthralling game.

Foul language has no place in our game, and should be reserved for mini-catastrophes, or those with a limited vocabulary.

1. There was no need for that player to react in such a way, in front of so many juniors.

2. As for kicking the speaker, that just shows a distinct lack of respect.

3. That sort of language would be expected for a Sailor, not a basketballers playing a final in front of many junior players.
