How, exactly, did he disrespect our authority --- given that no one told him to stop? You say he thinks rules don't apply to him ... yet there's no rule being broken here. And in the OP, nothing unsporting happened. We are not given that conversation - and since nothing volatile happened after he went over there - it could have been something entirely inoccuous. I grant that no self-respecting official would have let him all the way across the field, but in the OP that's exactly what happened.
