Thanks for all the thoughtfull insight. As with many things in life, if you give it enough time you can answer the question yourself. The answer to my question "am I being too sensitive?" is yes, I was.
Given a couple of days off to think about it, I realized that all the scenarios (except for the coaches' comment) were generally tolerable as one shot statements.They didn't make me happy but they didn't really cross over the line.
I had to be honest with myself and realize that I had worked 8 straight days doing 21 games in that time frame. A lot for me. I was slightly burned out.
Do I think that todays players are a bit less civil? Yes. Am I going to do my little part to emphasize a more positve approach? Yes again. But I do need to remember that it's still a free society (last time I checked) and disagreement is OK.
