I am old school.  I was taught to show respect to my elders and that included sports officials.  My wife and I expect our sons to do the same.  Over the last twenty years that has been a steady decline in civilized behavior and just because there has been a decline in civilized behavior is not reason to tolerate uncivilized behavior.

 Many socio-economic-environmental factors may come into play.
The kid may know better; perhaps he may not.
The kid may have been taught to react better; perhaps, he was not.
I won't like it either, but I will move on and leave the judgement to smarter people than I.
