Racial or equivalently unacceptable remarks directed at players--that's the conversation.

We're not talking about booing or "you stink". You like to go off on all these different directions. We're focused on something in particular here.

If you're willing to allow certain words to be directed at student athletes that you wouldn't allow directed at officials, you might need to re-examine your thought process, IMO.

Regarding Fans ...

I decided to take it in a more general direction, responsibilities of officials and site directors regarding fans, to react to the parent in the video who questioned why game officials (I think he was talking about game officials, not school officials) reacted to fans yelling at the game officials while not reacting to fans yelling at players.

As for me, I'm not sure that I would be cognizant enough to differentiate between monkey yells that are racial in nature and those that may be "garden variety" distracting. 99% of my attention is on the players, bench, table, scoreboard, and partner, only 1% is on the crowd. I honestly doubt that I would realize that the monkey yells were only directed at the Black player (unless pointed out to me). Yes, for good or bad, I'm that focused on the players, not the fans.

I was (opening it up to all types fan yelling, good, bad, and ugly). Sorry if I confused anybody.
