As an aside, I've found it funny that a local station has edited, for example, the word "a$$" out of one song in particular and yet their DJs don't hesitate to use it on air.
I have a good feel for the standards in this area, and apply them similarly on the court; and in all honesty would only apply the "profanity" rule to a small handful of words.

I'm with you, and your exampe of the player getting hit in the jewels perfectly illustrates my feelings on why I don't like the term "automatic." In order to make something sufficiently automatic, you have to make it so specific it's meaningless.
