the point, though, is that the tennis rules (well, okay, interpretations) specifically state that "JC" is a violation.
Heck, even I read about that *before* this incident -- and I neither officiate nor play tennis.
So, when the words were uttered, the penalty was automatic.
It's as if the FED added a Note to 10-3-8b: "Use of the phrase 'JC' is automatically determined to be profane, inappropriate and obscene."
You might not like that change. I might not like that change. But, I'd enforce it. (At the same time as I was enforcing it, I might lobby for it to be changed.)
