It is flagrant because it is not acceptable language and it is probably the one of the worst shows of sportsmanship I have heard of in a while, especially in an education environment. If you don't agree, then don't agree. You asked "why" so I gave you my opinion. I also made the point that it is not just the F word but many other curse words. Your question seemed to imply that it was the F word that was drawing so much ire and I was making the point that it is not just the F word that may justify a flagrant T but many other unacceptable words in an education envrironment.
So are the words "$h!t, damn and b!tch" but I do not hear anyone wanting to throw out players for those type of language. That is really my point. The F-word is not the only unacceptable language in the classroom or in an educational environment. But for some reason this word is the only one that seems to bring out the "ejection" calling. I know I hear a lot of unacceptable language on and off the court (or field) and I do not see anyone ejecting anyone for the use of this word or any other word you cannot hear on network TV.

Not sure what the attitude was about. I do not recall that I was just responding to your post alone. I wanted to know why there was a double standard. I am not asking for agreement, just understanding of that point of view.

Peace
