That is wonderful where you live and that they have a policy, but I can imagine that many places do not have a specific policy on what specific language is considered profane and then it is up to the judgment of the officials to decide what they will tolerate and what to penalize. I work in many places that if I penalized every bad word I would have multiple Ts a game. Often all you have to do is have a little word and it amazingly stops. But again unsporting behavior is not only about bad words and this is what the OP was asking, not about profanity. I do not see stomping as an illegal act in the rulebook, but if done in the right context it would be considered illegal.

JR, I believe understood what you said which is why I referenced profanity as opposed to the OP. If a coach is using profanity with/at his/her kids we can deal with it and we should. As to what constitutes profanity, I'm sure there are basic words most people would lump into that category.
