For example (racist example warning)

Really depends on what he said. Either way I'd appeal to get back in for the 2 games. Oh, and leave the timekeepers alone, its the ref's job to deal with you.
I agree. But I guarentee if I was the one who said "shut the ###### up you [race] piece of s**t" in certain situations it could mean huge issues for me.

As an extreme example: bird poop is usually a mix of white/black in colour. What if I made the argument that the opposing player was suggesting I was bird feces? It's a crazy extreme stretch but I wouldn't be surprised if there are past instances where people have landed in big trouble for even more extreme stretches.
