JR thanks for the quick reply concerning the Vanderbilt coach.
I never said that I would "T" or eject a player for using the "F-word" if I were the only other person to hear him/her. If that is the case, you can be sure that I will have be having a talk with him/her. BUT, if I am not the only person that hears the "F-word", then the player is gone.

Did I miss something? Here is your original post, in whole, from this thread.

Are you kidding, when a youth drops the "F" bomb for any reason it is an ejection. The "F" bomb is 100% completely unacceptable at the youth, high school, and college level. And in a perfect world I would also like to think that since the vast majority of professional players are college educated that the "F" bomb would result in an ejection too. But as I stated before, at the youth, H.S., and college level, the "F" bomb means ejection.

Maybe 100% completely unacceptable means something different to you than it does to me. That criteria leaves
no leeway for any usage of the "f word".
I agree that others hearing the word, in most cases call for a T, but I still don't agree about the ejection.

2) If the "F-word" does not fit the definition of vulgar or unsporting conduct that is extreme in nature, then we have a real problem in our society.

I agree that our society has a problem with this, but don't we have to apply society's standards rather than our own? There is already a problem with officials not being consistent and this will only further muddy the water. Don't misunderstand, I think it is vulgar and highly inappropriate, but many in our society do not agree with us.
