I take offense
I am very offended by the use of the terms "Goddamn" and "Jesus Christ" as swear words on the baseball field. My ears aren't garbage cans, and many of the fans feel the same way. The use of either of these phrases will certainly get you a warning for language in any youth or high school game I am umpiring. That includes adult coaches in youth games, as well. In adult leagues, hey, do whatcha like, as Humpty would say.
On the other hand, people who have a problem with athletes pointing to the sky have way too much time on their hands, and need to worry about more important things.
I also have zero respect for anyone associated with the ACLU, or the "Anti-Christian Liberties Union", as I like to refer to it. It has never really been an organization concerned with civil liberties, but rather the taking away of such liberties. The ACLJ, or American Center for Law and Justice, is much more supportive of the rights of all Americans.
