As Adam stated, "Orwellian" would mean the government would punish you for what you say, and that would be unacceptable (threats, "fire" in a crowded theater notwithstanding). The ACC is a private organization that sets its boundaries, and they're not too far off from the rest of American corporate society.
Let's review. Hess directed a nationality at someone, followed it with the word "ass," and the nationality was just plain wrong. So, I guess it was politically incorrect, albeit literally. Either way, such language is a deal-breaker just about anywhere.

I don't know. My wife of 23 years and I prefer to look at it as a survival technique.
All kidding aside, you have to know your audience. Most of the time, I won't interact with fans, but there are exceptions, if you have a good feel for the crowd. If Joey Crawford can buy fans beer, you know you're not always in a lion's den.
