Concur. I was always brought up to treat people the way I would want them to treat me - or my family. Rudeness doesn't cut it.

Some situations do get heated, we get sarcastic, failed humor, coach gets out of control, etc. Hey, it happens.

I would wait until the next stoppage and go to the table and politely, so only they or a few close could hear, let them know this type of behavior will not be tolerated and if kept up they will be replaced. I believe we need to take the high road wherever possible.....JMO.
