...some respects, the fans are just taking a cue from the players. Beating the opposition isn't good enough; in-your-face humiliation is preferable. Profane language among players on the court got so pervasive that the NBA had to make it a violation. In football, the NFL has started calling penalties against players for taunting and excessively celebrating after touchdowns.
