in retrospect I agree with your thought process, but I'm not sure about ejection for cursing? What rule are you citing that says automatic ejection if the curse is directed at another player?

I think player saftey needs to be considered here, as opposed to encouraging a player to kick at the ball to gain advantage at the risk of breaking another player's fingers.
