Around here, it would take at least 4 years to live down threatening to remove the student section for something as lame as that. You'd definitely never live it down at that school as long as you do games there.

I'm in agreement with the clear majority that this wouldn't even cause me pause, let alone be enough for me to involve GM. However...

What if this statement was made in a clearly sarcastic and hurtful way toward a player who was quite unattractive, overweight, etc. Does this change anyone's feelings on how to handle the matter?

Good question. I suppose it's a HTBT, but if it's harsh enough, I might speak with game management about that, and let them handle it.

I've only been doing soccer for three years. Our soccer board has a similar approach to such matters as they are in basketball: Let game management handle it. If it's non-scholastic (U-10, U-14. etc.), you can go through the coaches, or in extreme cases, you have the power to end the game if the profane fan refuses to leave. My best guess is that others will pressure the fool to leave.
