Speaking ASA
If I wanted to be the language police, I'd go to work for the FCC or some other socialist group.
If it isn't directed toward or about an umpire, player, manager or coach and has no bearing on the game, I really don't give a damn what the player says.
If loud, I will ask them to keep it down, but there is no stipulation or allowance to penalize in accordance with the rules.
