If it's directed at me or my partner specifically, sanction. |
I'm with Felix....I usually use some thing like: "I understand that you are frustrated, but take it easy on the language."
If it is loud enough to be widely heard, it will be sanctioned, no matter who it is directed at. We are told that HS sports are an extension of the classroom...Would a student swearing loud enough to be heard in the middle of English class be penalized? Probably.
