I'm not saying treat this as a game of golf or the opera, because I can get as loud and boisterous as the rest of the fans, but I keep myself in control (no matter how horrible we play, or how many stupid mistakes we make), especially with youth present.
Bad language is the least of my worries when it comes to taking a young kid or my wife to a game, my real concern was always the drunk who was itching for a fight because he overheard you say something he didnt agree with. The combination of a violent game and booze seemed to cause some guys (usually on their only day they get a hall pass) to grow beer muscles and get violent.
