But we live in different times now and coddling people even when they disrespect their teachers/coaches/elders is the norm not the exception.

I'm glad you mentioned the parents' reaction, because that is something I was also thinking but failed to say. I couldn't imagine cussing at a coach when he told me to shake hands with the other team and if I ever were to cuss at a coach in that situation, I would expect parents and other adults who knew anything at all about sports to be angry at me.
