Similar to the FCC's broadcast rules for the obscene, profance and indecent, soccer also penalizes those who use indecent language. Depending on the severity of the language used, players may be issued warnings, Yellow Cards or Red Cards. Of course, offensive language depends heavily on context, so how do you determine whether calling the ref a "pratt" is worthy of a warning or Yellow Card? Luckily there is a webpage that has handy Venn diagrams of various uses of language to help guide the budding referee (Bad Language Mapping and Tolerance Levels). Perhaps the FCC would be so kind as to provide similar guidance?
