I found this happens at the beach too, even had people do it on a tennis court up north. Thoughts?

This is an ongoing issue north of CR 466 since we do not have The Villages Radio playing at our pools.
I have personally verified with the Recreation Department that radios are NOT ALLOWED AT POOLS NORTH OF CR 466.
There have been times at our pool when they are actually dueling radios with vastly different stations including commercials. How rude can one be to do that to other guests? Simple they do not care! Many are not residents ant think they are at some remote beach - duh!
Until the signs at the pools reflect this rule the only recourse is to go into the Recreation Center and complain. If you approach the idiot with the radio, who knows how they will react - many with foul language, or you can't make me stop blasting my radio.
I suggest we all take a moment to send an email to the Recreation Department asking that they add, NO RADIOS, to the rule signs at the pools north of CR 466. With today's technology there is no need to blast radios since anyone can get bluetooth ear buds.
These offenders, I believe are seeking attention or provocation. They will tell you it is not on the rules but it is a rule - NO RADIOS! My two cents.
