Our parents have self-policed stuff like this in the past. Doesn't make for cozy feelings among the parents, but it sure works to stop the inappropriate comments. One time, our coach was upbraided by a parent after he lost his mind. A girl ran into our goalie when she had the ball secured, kneed her in the head, ball came loose, the other team scored. Our goalie was down and rolling around holding her head. When the coach protested to the referee, and the ref did nothing, the coach said, within everyone's earshot, "Next time slap her when she comes close to you!" The ref went ballistic and nearly threw him out of course but after the game, two parents confronted the coach, and at first he protested that, "I am trying to protect your kids..." but when the parents retorted with, "You are the coach--you are supposed to set the example out there," he relented and apologized.

Once heard some parents and kids making fun of a girl on our team wearing a headscarf. One of our parents would have none of it. The other parents on the opposing team were absolutely mortified.
