What about an international player swears in a foreign language, such as French?
A few years back I was working games at the Nike World Master's Tournament in Portland, OR...had a Lithuanian team playing, and one of them didn't like a call - said something in whatever language they speak there, and I T'd him No idea what he said, but the expression and body language told me it wasn't a compliment...one of the other Lithuanian players walked by me and said "Good call, referee. He deserved that." So like they said - it isn't always WHAT they say...
That's funny, did you ever get the translation?
I asked the player who told me it was a good call, but he said I didn't want to know, so we left it at that...
