Cursing

I agree with most on here that players and managers should be ejected for cursing at umpires, but what is the punishment for the umpires using the same words toward managers or players?

Some of the arguments that I see involve just as much or even more colorful language from the umpires.

Do you have an example?

I think it would depend on the level. I do not think anyone has said that Edmonds or LaRussa were ejected just because of their language, I think they were referring to what they were called. Edmonds called Cuzzi a name, it does not matter if a curse word was used or not. At least it does not to me. I think it also matters what level we are talking about. The Major Leagues is quite different than LL.

In my state at the HS level if any umpire/official can be written up for their actions. So at least in my state there are possible repercussions of the actions of an umpire/official if they use inappropriate language. I am sure anyone could contact an assignor or a league if an umpire/official used curse words as well.
