That should be a flagrant. The threat is one thing, but the racial remark is unacceptable.
Ha ha this is great. If I threaten to chop your legs out from under you that is one thing, but if I offend your sensitivities you're outta here!

I'm not saying I wouldn't eject for the threat- I probably would. I am saying the racial slur is as close to "automatic" as I have.

I wouldn't classify it under "offended sensibilities" or "hurt feelings," but rather "fighting words."

And yes, I'm referring to the "fighting words doctrine" of Constitutional law. Though I wouldn't mention that when I T'd up the offender.
