I noticed the same thing watching the game ahead of mine at a Christmas tourney yesterday. 3 or 4 guys up in the stands spent the entire game SCREAMING things like you said (CHARGE!, in case you're wondering that was a charge, you're missing a good game ref, shuffling her feet is traveling ref!, etc)
Is it getting worse? How can we turn it around and start improving things?
I feel when the wife and I finally have kids and they start to play ball I'm going to have a real problem sitting anywhere near this lot... Do I educate them? Ignore them? Run away screaming? Yell back with directions on how to be a better fan/parent (know the rules!, it's about your kid not you, everyone would have more fun if you shut your mouth!, etc)?
