I've posted this before, but it seems relevant to this thread, so here it is again. I called a T on a kid for profanity (I think he was 6th grade) in our local kids rec league. In our league, this is an automatic flagrant T. I told his coach and there was no problem, since the coach also heard what the kid said and he knew the rule. I went to report it to the table and the score book guy said there was no way he was recording it in the book and then he just leaned back, folded his arms and shook his head sideways. He said, "That's my son and he wouldn't swear." At first, I thought he was kidding, but he wasn't. I had to tell the coach to replace the guy, which he did.

What did the kid say?

I know when a Coach asks me this...I say he used profanity (as you did)...but, we're all friends here...what did he say?

Is "Damn" profanity and worthy of ejection in 6th grade? Just curious.

He used the "F word". And yes, in our local kids rec league, "damn" is considered profanity. We actually had a discussion about that a few years ago and that was the decision. It's a "zero tolerance" organization.

Do you have a list? Are there seven words on the list?
