It was in the rules that an outburst will get you disqualified. The kid made an outburst. By rule, he was disqualified. Now we have a doubles match with one team only having one player.

Easy call. Match over. Amen.

Actually, BigDave, the original post did not say the player was disqualified for an outburst, but specifically for what he said. In fact, it stated that if he would have said either word by itself, in just the same manner, there would have been no penalty.

There are certain words I consider profanity, but frankly these aren't among them. Deciding what is profane is a different issue from attitude and intent for purposes of assessing technicals.
