It depends. If these are two players of the same race, I will handle this much differnetly than if they are different race or ethnicity. I think things between teammates are always going to have a different dynamic than if they are talking to opponents. I had this actually happen and it was a sign of affection. I pulled the player that used the name aside and told him, "that might be alright when you are hanging out, or when you a surrounded by your peers, but this is a public and professional area. I am not going to tolerate that language in this type of setting." I had no further problems.

That is BS!!! Are you going to decide whether or not to throw a flag based on the gender/race/ethnicity, etc of the sender and receiver? #1 - They are on a team. Let the team deal with the issue by informing the coach. We are there to "referee" between the 2 teams, not to "referee" within" the team. #2 - If it is wrong for a white player to call a black player a N____ then it is wrong for a Black to call another Black the same thing.
If 2 black teams are playing and 1 Black on 1 team calls another Black on the other team a N____, are you going to flag?
And what if they are Hispanic kids and speaking in Spanish? How are you going to know what to flag then?
