My thing is is that we don't need to be defending ANY child's bad behavior, especially not by saying "well what so and so did was much worse." That just gives them the arrogance of thinking we can do whatever we want. We live in an age of technology. Which means everyone can see your bad behavior. That means you have to be EXTRA careful. If we don't step up and say "Hey, what you did was wrong" than nothing will ever change. and it looks like somebody has got to step up and say it because the coaches obviously aren't.
And I don't know if you were around or not but nobody on fierce board liked the posts about the vine video from NCA either. We all said how horrible they were. We are condemning bad behavior from anyone. Especially from kids who have so many young eyes looking up to them.
We also don't like all the random "fans" behavior but at least they don't have young eyes looking up to them.
I completely agree that as adults we should address it, however, I personally contact them through a message. I don't go on Fierceboard and post 20 pages about unacceptable an entire team is and how terrible they are. If an adult is upset then by all means be a role model but don't plaster your thoughts about how awful these kids are.
