The term respect in football (soccer) was a term generated to cut done on verbal abuse of players and officials. It was noted by the International Football Association that there appeared to be increasing disrespect of match officials which they noted did not occur in Rugby. IN Rugby referees are called sir (if male) or Madam (if female). The concept of RESPECT was to bring about change, stop players surrounding the officials and using offensive language.
