The league defines what "profanity" is. If they wanna say "damn" is a profanity, then that's the way it is. That's the league's right. Iow, the league can give direction to their officials as to how strictly they want a certain rule called. Since the officials are basically employees of that league,unless it is a safety issue, the officials haveta follow the direction of the people hiring them. No different than the Big 10, SEC, etc. It doesn't really matter whether we agree with that particular league's philosophy or not. We just do it. Or we don't work that particular league.
