You have every right to come up with a list, but I think it seems kind of silly to me. None of these address context or situations. If you want to consider Blasphemy, then maybe you need to check the religious affiliation of the folks making the comments. Not everyone holds the same religious beliefs. If that was the case then Catholic Schools and other religious schools would act better during sporting events. And considering the culural slurs are differnet to differnet people. Where do you draw the line? Because above all else, when you give a T you have to be able to explain and have your judgement not challenged. No differnet than calling a violation or a foul, you do not want such a harsh penalty to be ambiguous. In my opinion, many of these are ambiguous.
Just an opinion.
