It is not in the best interest of the game to have officials placed in a position where from game to game they must rule on what is objectionable. Obviously, officials can and will make these decisions when outright vulgarity or obsenity is involved or when such markings violate sportmanship and/or taunting or baiting regulations.
Now I'm neither american, nor a lawyer, but how does this fit in with the First Amendment rights to free speech? Not trying to stir anything up, just genuinely curious
