Believe it or not there are still people who object to hearing any profanities.

The league sets their own standards of conduct. I happen to also be on the league's board of directors and a coach at the 15-17 level.
There are 3 and 4 year olds present at MLB games too. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. And being on the BoD, you are partly responsible.
