Third down play results in a dead ball on B's 3-yard line across the field from the chains.... and we leave the ball lay on the far side of the field. Approx. 10 yards behind the location of the dead ball, and in the way of a possible chain measurement is an injured player. We call timeout and decide we will wait for the injured player to be relocated before we make a measurement. At about this time we make this decision, a B player says to the hurt A player "get up you f***ing N*g*r!" We throw flags and decide we have unsportmanship foul. We don't eject since both players are black. At this time the officiating crew decides we have no need to bring the chains out, and we have a first down. Approximately 30 seconds after this decision we have an A player use the same remarks towards a B player. Flags again and dead ball unsportmanlike conduct. We don't eject since again both players are black.
The way we administrated the foul was first in goal at the 16.5 yard line... I am thinking it should have been first in 10 from the 16.5 yard line, or fourth and 13.5 yards from the 16.5 yard line....
You make the call!
What have you to say about that?

The first racial comment is an automatic ejection. There is no other way to cut it. Doing so probably would have prevented any other further comments.
At this point, I would wait for the injured player before the measurement. Without the racial comment, I might do otherwise... I'd have to be there to know for sure.
After the 2nd racial comment, I would send both teams to their benches and let their coaches deal with the babysitting.
