As already pointed out, nobody said it was a good thing, but in this case, no, I don't think the guy expected to be confronted, because most players would know better and exercise self-restraint. What if it was on the street. You cut in front of somebody in line, maybe by accident. The guy says "Watch it, you piece of crap," and you punch his lights out. Who you think will get arrested?

Sorry but even if that is all he said, what part of society is it OK to call someone a name like that and it be the fault of the person that confronts you?

The answer to that, sadly, is at ball games. Offensive is in the eye of the beholder, to some degree. Quite often at a game, especially when several calls in a row go against one team, I hear the word that I dislike most which is "CHEATER". Call me blind, call me stupid, but don't call me a cheater. But take this to game management and see how much support you get.
