What happened to the idea of an interscholastic contest is an extension of the classroom?
What's not allowed to be said in the classroom is not supposed to be allowed on the court/field.
How hard is that to understand.
Most leagues &/or state associations have as part of their fan code of conduct/ethics, wording that states "Exercise self control and permit only POSITIVE sportsmanlike behavior - Don't accept swearing or negative comments about players or coaches in your rooting section!", which should be universally enforced.
Ironically, some negative comments include: you suck, airball, any my mother/family relation comments, & other such comments/sayings that are meant to belittle a person/persons.
