<p>It’s important to “call” out bad behavior. It happens. My youngest got hurt during football this year. Football is not what I would in a million years call a “gentleman’s sport” but the opposing team was leading often with their helmets. Not supposed to happen. It was clear as day when it was happening and it was even clearer on the videotape. That coach and team needs to be called out on this. My other sons tennis coach had to hold a parent meeting a few years ago and “explain” to a few parents what was acceptable behavior during tennis matches because a few of the parents simply didn’t know what was acceptable in the world of tennis. He took a proactive approach. If you see unsportsmanlike behavior in players, students, parents or coaches, you call them on it. You don’t sit back and grumble and make generalizations about the entire school, the entire student body, etc. Either the students or the soccer coach (if the hecklers were indeed members of a single team) needs to ‘call out’ these kids and read them the riot act about what is acceptable and what is not acceptable. It doesn’t take a university president to ‘fix’ this, or the New York Times…it just takes a few students or a coach taking the hecklers to the woodshed for a few minutes.</p>
