Just to throw another angle out there, what if a chant was directed towards you as the official? Would you acknowledge (get game managment, or T if you feel that route is appropriate) in that situation. This discussion reminded me of a state playoff game I played in when I was in HS, opponents student section chanted "A rope, a tree, hang the referee!" for a solid 20-30 secs.
We said that all the time in high school. I'd probably laugh. Actually, the chant is, "A rope. A tree. All we need is a referee."

Haha me as well, that is the only time I ever heard that in my life though. I went to high school outside of Philadelphia and this game was somewhere in Central PA....I remember on the way home us all saying "these country kids are crazy!!!"
