Can hear you.

But also, PG swear words are silly to get offended over.

Many people don’t consider the mentioned words as bad language.

Sorry for you and your belief that it’s just like any other word. I’m not upset

That’s fine. I’m not arguing if you think it’s crude or not. I don’t think it is

I think most of us don’t need to “be enlightened,” we get it already.

Ok then, enlighten me. What’s the difference?

bbqelitist

The coaches would have the good sense to shut up within earshot

How does swearing on sideline affect people in the stands that can't hear it?

Depending on my social circle, people I know do too. I still consider it vulgar

I don’t use this language, and the people in my social circle are physicians.

The level of selfishness on display by people defending coarse language here...
