As you stated, you believe all swearing is the same, and everything Davidson does is objectionable. That reeks of bias, and puritanism, so with your inability to be unbiased, and your inability to digest adult language, perhaps baseball isn't the right game for you.

You are obviously giving this a cursory and narrow look. Try harder.
It threatened to get out of hand? What a load of crap. Davidson was really worried that Molina was going to commit a felony because some guy was yelling at him? That is beyond stupid. Davidson likes for people to notice him. That is why he goes out of his way to be noticed. He is one of the least respected umpires by players, managers, coaches and other umpires because he is such a joke. He does things that no other umpire does like his incessant balk calling. I have seen several times in the last few years where he did not even bother to shave before a game.

I think the fan should have been ejected if he was actually saying that stuff. I would be awfully surprised if it was really that bad because I think someone would have turned him in.

I never stated that all swearing is the same. I stated that I have heard Davidson in person on numerous occasions using language that is remarkably offensive to an awful lot of people. For this he has gotten no sanction whatsoever.
