On the question of being thrown out for abusing the umpire - I think a warning if it is not spouting racial vilification, or hatred towards the minority etc - is appropriate. Using the word Poof like the Carlton supporter is not on.
Different culture isn't it! Even in some US primary schools, I heard they have cheerleading competitions.
