Officials in Ogden, Utah, have ended a plan to institute a profanity ban in city parks and playground areas. The ordinance, introduced in early August, was aimed at improving sportsmanship at sporting events, stating that no person was to "disturb the peace by using obscene or profane language, in any park, playground or recreational facility owned or used by the city, or at any recreational event that is organized, operated, managed or sponsored by the city."
