I'll split it with you. I've seen coaches curse players, using GD you for this or that. That is cursing and there is no place for a coach like that in any sport.
selfish mother***** may be demeaning to a player but I guarantee he got the jist of it where as you GDmother****** carries a much more derogotory meaning to it. Agree?

LOL, again, I understand where you are coming from. But, if I accidently take your parking spot and you yell out "you GDmother*****", or yell our "you are a blooming idiot", we are scrapping all the same. When you curse someone, it's the tone, not the words and IMO, that 100% of it. I could scratch off a $1,000 winning lottery ticket and you could say "you GDmother******", and the tone will be much different, and I will be taking it much different.

As for the words themselves, it's been said already many times, these players have heard the same words used, and have heard them very often. That's a shame, and I am not saying I condone it, but I certainly understand it. I've been coaching for a long time, and my tone is much different with players. Last night during winter conditioning with our HS baseball players, I got frustrated with having to "talk over" players, my tone changed, and decibel level changed, and everyone in the gym got the message. I did not have to do it again, but I never had to use a cuss word either!
