Two separate issues. USC at an umpire or opposing player is USC regardless of the language. "I'm going to kick your F$@%$ing @$$" and "I'm going to beat you senseless," will both get you ejected.
My point is that senseless "profanity" not directed at anyone harms no one. Why penalize it? Why set up the umpire to be the profanity police without giving firm direction as to what is profanity? I can easily see one umpire letting $hit go, but another one ejecting for "Crap!" What is the purpose of such a rule? And why is your league "better" for not having the contestants utter certain words? Silly, really.
