Very, very disappointing behavior by Chase Utley. There are places where profanity is acceptable and where it is not.
I'm a baseball fan, a Phillies fan, and I'm thrilled they won the World Series. I, like many, have the tendency to put great players like Chase on a pedestal and forget that they're fallible people like the rest of us. Maybe this indiscretion can be attributed to his youth - just not realizing that a public venue of celebration is a terribly inappropriate setting to express himself in such a profane way. Can you imagine Jamie Moyer saying such a thing?
But no, there's really no excuse. He's an adult and he should know better. Moms and Dads took their kids out of school on this joyous day, only to have them exposed to stupid, coarse language by a sports hero they all idolize.
Chase, on this day, you are a disgrace and a pig. Next time, young man, keep your creative expression in the clubhouse.
