I have never understood how people can justify heckling, ridiculing, pestering (whatever you want to call it), a person who is trying their best to work at the advocation of their choice as "part of the game." Plain and simply put, it is poor sportsmanship. I felt this way as a player and a coach, long before I became an umpire.

I am not saying that you should reduce yourself to the level of the "heckler/bad sport" by intentionally seeking him out, or even giving creedence to his heckle, but by all means, don't excuse it as "part of the game."
