I think that what is normally characterized as "chirping" is not necessarily unsportsmanlike, but it is un-necessary and annoying. When it goes beyond the "chirp" into confrontation or derision, it crosses the line and needs to be addressed.
If you sit with any parochial fan of a team, they see all sorts of travels, fouls, etc., and can't understand why the ref can't see what they are seeing. I watch a lot of games in which I have no interest in the outcome, and you begin to see the game differently. the chirping is just a reflection of the fact that you have a very parochial person watching the contest from a very biased perspective.
