Depending what age the kids are they still may (psychologically speaking according to famed psyco analyist for child developement Piaget) model this behavior...which in turn perpetuates the problem.

Unfortunately, in Pennsylvania, assaulting a sports official apears too often to carry a far lighter penalty than assauting somebody in general.
And NCASA said "Sometimes, we do this to ourselves by not addressing this behavior." Yup, agreed - nothing quite like sticking it up the *** of those who have "X" team in the next game.
