Actually, that is precisely what could happen. The society we live in now is almost perfectly suited to allow people to feel justified in using violence against others they feel have slighted them in some way.

People like you saying that he "deserved" a violent reaction for using bad words is the exact environment that sort of attitude thrives in.
I give up.

Go play with someone else.

If i saw anyone react like that to racial abuse I'd shake the person's hand. No room for it anywhere. Violence isn't the answer.. but IN THIS PARTICULAR incident.. on a football field..I don't see the harm. It's not like kids in school will mimic the behaviour..
If he had done it off the field then I absolutely would agree with you.
