I hear more cursing or bad language in baseball games where 99% of the players are white and come from very affluent backgrounds or communities. If I threw out every white baseball player that used some foul language, I would have 2 or 3 ejections every game. So do not give me that only inner city kids of color are the ones cursing and subject to bad behavior. That is much more cursing than I ever hear working a basketball game with kids from many different races and cultures. I think you need to get a clue.

So, I take it that in your opinion, there is nothing the matter with racial epithets?

That's good to know.
