I watched a boy get yellow carded for cussing on Sunday from RYSA...He basically screamed at a Bridge player but happened to be in front of the Bridge parents. I don't think the ref would have reacted except that the parents gasped. It was just so nasty and personal and unessasary.



This sounds like a red card offense, not yellow.

Law 12 of the FIFA Laws of the Game says a player should be sent off and shown the red card if he/she "uses offensive or insulting or abusive language and/or gestures".

Sounds like the referees must not have heard what you heard or there was something else going on.
