Yes.

I grew up in an era where you did not even think of saying the wrong thing to adults or you would have to feel the wrath of your parents or the coach. As a matter of fact, I was pulled out of games and so were my teammates if we even tried to question an official in any way. There was no adults to back my behavior up, along with my peers.
I wish it were like this. Unfortunately, you're right - the parents are often the ones driving this whole thing along.
