Bryan Price, manager of the #CincinnatiReds Sets a New Record

4/22/2015

The Cincinnati Reds have set a new record! According to the news, manager Bryan Price “allegedly” used the #F-bomb 77 times in a rant against reporter C. Trent Rosecrans of the Cincinnati Enquirer. To paraphrase Captain Louis Renault (played by Claude Rains) in Casablanca, I'm shocked, shocked to find there is profanity in #baseball! It is unclear who held the previous record but certainly #TommyLasurda or #BobbyKnight would have been close. Of course, the F-word is used so much now days in the media and social networks that it seems to be acceptable grammer. I recall during the Vietnam war that the F-word was used so often, sometimes every other word in a sentence, that it prolonged the war and was the primary reason the war lasted as long as it did. I am sure there are people who if told they could no longer use the F-word, would be speechless. In this case it is news worthy only because it was used 77 times. I'm sure if the F-word was removed from the rant, there may be less that 77 words not counting repeated words. I mean, who knew that Price knew more than 50 words?

I guess the reason for the popularity for the F-word is because it is one syabable and has so many variations. Words like fornication, coitus, copulation and intercourse just take too long to pronounce. While you could call someone a fornicator, to call someone a copulationer an intercourser doesn't sound correct. I don't think a coituser is even a word. I am sure that Price is proud of establishing a new record, but chances are it will soon be broken. Now that cellphones are ubiquitous and everyone is recording rants and incidents, a new record for the use of the F-word is sure to emerge shortly. I could set the record myself in this blog but I try to keep my posts short, to the point, and classy. (Okay, not a lot of class but a little class.)
