All sports would do well to emulate rugby with regards to the game officials. Only the captain is allowed to speak to the ref unless the ref addresses a player directly. When a player is addressed by the ref, the response is either "yes, sir" or "no, sir". You get penalized for talking back or mouthing off to the ref, and if it's bad enough, you will be sent off.

Things that extreme during a sporting event should be treated as it would on the street. As far as the law is concerned.

Watching a match a few weeks ago...

The ref: "I've asked you nicely twice, if you don't straighten out I'm going to start getting a little mad."

Player: "yes sir, sorry sir."

Ref: "it's alright. You're a good lad, we've never had any problems before, no need for them now."
