A fairer comparison, for sure. Although, off hand, I don't know the laws for cursing out a police officer. I'm sure they vary from place to place. In sports, they're considerably more clear.

IMO, it still comes down to choice of behavior. No matter where you are, if you control your emotions, you're far better off than vice versa. If sports indeed builds character (and reveals it, too), such building won't take place if we don't call each other on it.
