I guess I am just old fashioned and expect the players to show respect for adults. I know that if one of my sons popped off to an official like that my son would be coming out the game. It would not matter whether the official T'ed him or not, because if my son's coach doesn't yank him out of the game, I would.

I think that we as a society have let civility and sportsmanship slid too much. If we as a society except the excuse that everybody does it, then we deserve to be disrespected by others.
