Are you kidding?!?! There couldn't possibly be anything about this that is unconstitutional. If the fellow who did the throwing-out is right, and not working on a personal issue, then the rules are the rules and it's up to the players to know them and follow them or risk the consequences.

My personal opinion, is that all these words, plus Allah, Buddha, and a few other religious references (including the word "God!) should be automatic T's, if not ejections. Using these words in frustration or anger shows disrespect and disdain for common and well-known religious beliefs and should come under the definition of "Attitude--disrespect for authority". But then I am an extremist and this is not a battle I'm expecting to win anytime soon!
