How do you handle chants?

Several years ago I did a u12 game and at the end the winning team formed a gauntlet forcing the losing team to walk under it to get to their dugout. They chanted "We are proud of you oh we are proud of you". I asked the coach if they do that if they lose and he said "no". I told him "then don't do it at all".
That was the tackiest thing I'd ever heard. I thought about the fist fights that would errupt at an U18 game if that happened.

I haven't seen it since.

But in most cases, this is meant in the spirit of good sportsmanship. I have seen this many times, and it is always the winning team doing it to the losing team. It is just another way of saying, "ya'll played one hell of a game!"
