Hunter, look at it from this perspective:
What if Mr. Lopes came to class to watch you? Would it be appropriate for him to start chanting "Bullsh!t, bullsh!t!" if you answered a teacher's question wrong? Would it be ok for him to post on internet chat rooms what a lousy student you are if you didn't score 100% on the last test?
If it would be appropriate behavior outside the sports arena, it will probably be acceptable. If you would be willing to say or do the same things to your parents or grandparents, it is probably ok. Do you follow the logic? There seems to be the general feeling that a fan has paid their money, and that gives them the right to do and say things outside the realm of common decency. Do unto others what you would want them to do to you.
