I mean stuff like, "tackle that Mutha F'er"! Being from the military, I wasn't offended as most were. But when did this become acceptable in youth sports? Finally the 1 and only official came over and told them to knock it off or they would ejected from the stands, which drew a couple of more FUs....
I find it unacceptable in that situation and environment because of the mere fact that it set a terrible, and rather embarrassing, example for the children. To see adults acting in such a way is very unfortunate, and shows their lack of concern for the impression it leaves on the kids.
