Oh, I wholeheartedly agree. He
should. Thing is...he's not going to until we, as the fans,
demand it. We have been condoning, and even encouraging, this type of behavior for so long, that it has become part of the make up of an "athlete".

I disagree, here. I will most certainly condemn the fan. We want the athletes to maintain a professional demeanor, while the fans display behavior that would make a barbarian blush. No, I think not. The guy was an ass. He may not have had an ass beating coming, but I certainly would have had him hastily escorted from the arena, with a some strong advice never to return.
