No. It would depend upon what the kid said to the opponent and even then it's not as though the kid is going off to jail or being sued for a civil rights violation. If the comments were related to race, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, or religion there could be issues. If the comment was about someone's mother or their opponent's inability to guard them, then it's business as usual.
