Yes, my post was confusing. I just edited it (in red) to try clarification.
As I said, it's not the language I'm questioning.
It's how quickly to eject and avoiding repercussions from being the language police and "nit picking" accusations.

Cecil, I don't care what words are used. As you said, it's not our job to be the language police.

But the time to stop this was when the players were yelling at each other, regardless of words. "That's enough" should be enough to convey your point quickly and early. And if it's not, then they get an early night. You have to head off ANY derogatory commentary from player to other team's player early.
