Schools compete for more than just the final score. The spectators want to show more support than the other teams spectators. When the support gets to negative actions, even the "just a little negative" actions, how do you show more support? By doing the same thing (that would be a tie score) or something a little more negative (my teams spectators won). How does this not escalate?

If you remove all the negativity (picture Donald Southerlland in Kelly's Heros as I just did and you will get a laugh), escalation should only harm your ears.
That would be a perfect world, which we don't live in. So, should we allow negativity and just remove that which exceeds the officials limits? Who likes doing that?

It is mush easier to officiate the game while listening to fans cheering for their own team as opposed to thinking "am I going to have to get game admin to remove the bozo in the second row".
