How is the official to know whether or not B1 directs unsporting comments towards the fans? Sure, he might hear the comments, but in the latest example with Mr. Smart, the official would have had to be in the stands or close enough to the stands to risk the situation Mr. Smart was in.
It also seems like B1 "directing unsporting comments toward the fans" would not be subject to violation of this rule unless B1 goes into the stands.

After having re-read the OP, and noting the Comments section, I withdraw my comments above.
