Should football coaches be ejected from games for cussing at the officials?

wow you really think they should be ejected?  Football is different from other sports, in basketball coaches should and are ejected from games for stuff like that.  Basketball coaches are just not as important to the game (not trying to be mean) as the football coaches, in football every play is ran by the coach, while basketball they don't run plays as much.  It shouldn't matter if they cuss, they need to show emotion (not tring to promote cussing or anything).  Who ever said they should get ejected for pushing a ref obviously doesn't watch football, THEY ARE.  Usually more than one game.

In every game of the World Cup there has been at least one bad call (maybe more!) from the refs from the first game to the current game, they either taking sides, or they are to far away from the infraction, or they are simply incompetent! (Do we need more refs on the field?)\nThis is the worst refereed World Cup ever!\nAnd take that stupid ban-aid microphone off your chin, it ain't working

Refs always suck. no matter what you either love them or hate them. when they make good calls for your team then you love them but when they make bad calls you hate them. its a win lose situation. but in the end you love to hate refs. \n\ni would like to someday be a ref and bring a woman's perpestive into the game but most likely it won't happen. i no a guy who was a ref for 10 years and he loved it but not when the coaches yell and scream at the calls that you make. even the refs have it tough.\n\nbut you have to admit without refs that game of football would be even more messed up then it is now. we need NEUTRAL people on the field who don't rule in favor of their favorite team. because if we had that then the one team would get their way and the other wouldn't.\n\neven though you hate them you still have to respect them because they have to put up with a lot of angry fans....believe me there is a lot.

No way. Refs are accused of this simply because when they make a mistake it is more visible than when a player makes it (except the goalie maybe!)\n\nRefs cannot do their job anymore because players cheat, they dive, they are coached to dive, they moan constantly, they are paid too much and they are the ones that are ruining this great game. \n\nRight, thats off my chest now.

oh yes it is they can get penalized either 1 or 2 ways either by unneccesary roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct and could even get ejected from the game depending on the official that's a nono you can only tackle a person from behind if they have the ball and you're behind them but not without the ball

i agree...if you argue with the ref then you have to move bk so many yards..so the more you argue the worst it gets for your team...that would soon stop the time wasters! i dont think they should bring in sin bins or anything like that because thats not football. i do also agree with the way red cards are treated in rugby! if you get a red card then you know you are going to be out for a few months in rugby!

Agrees totally with you\n\nDiving and cheating is ruining the game to such an extent that Ref's actually miss real incidents.\n\nI thought players could be booked for diving. You can be booked for dissent and saying something rude. If refs were refs  things would be better and as for no tackling from behind what a joke. I expect footballers to come out with powder puffs and lipstick next

Surely the answer to this lies in the refereeing. Players will try anything to win and if they are allowed to get away with these displays of bad sportsmanship they will continue.

I seem to remember when either Brett Favre or Jim McMahon was just grabbed and thrown to the turf by a pissed-off defender (whose name escapes me) well after the play was over, wiping out the quarterback's shoulder. Just an overt act of frustration and anger taken out on an opposing player. That pretty much defines it for me to this day.

i don't know. i'm kind of in the middle. i hate games where the whistles blowing and the refs call everything because to me it's like why don't you just let them play? but then again i don't like it when they whine and get up in the refs faces. we'll see what happens as the season goes on.

ummm...if there was anyway to make that happen...then it would be called as 'unsportsmanlike conduct' even if thr is no unsportsmanlike conduct. anytime you take your helmet off during a play, you can be penalized. if the helmet falls off then they dont care, but if u take it off yourself, then it would be unsportsmanlike conduct.

If I've interpreted the question correctly, it depends on the player.  If the player is a coachable player with a good attitude, stress can be shaken off.  They need to be able to take constructive criticism.  If they are playing bad, or not to the best of their abilities, they should be able to learn from errors and do better next time.  \n\nSome things, like coaches, cannot be changed.  This is a negative form of stress.  I recently had a coach who flat-out couldn't be pleased by anything I did.  Everything I said, he contradicted, he criticized everything I did, and it wasn't long before I hated the sport.  He was so negative with me that it created a mind block, and it seriously affected my play.  I left that coach and and back to being the star of a different team.  Everything is different, I'm playing to the top of my potential now.

Absolutely he should be fined or reprimanded somehow.  Coach Cowher and Big Ben had a conversation about this same topic last year after Kellen Winslow, Jr. had his accident.  I am sure in his contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers states no "risky" behavior clauses.
