I actually like Jurassic's point. The fact that a term exists is not by itself a reason to continue using it. The term 'witch' exists, but I don't think we should start a new round of witch hunts. Same with racial and ethnic slurs.
The term 'game interrupter' is used by some officials to mask the claim that they think a type of call is bad (3 seconds, 5 seconds, whatever). Rather than discuss whether the particular call was in fact good, they use a slur.
Hadn't thought of it like that before. Thanks, Jurassic!
