Answer 10

Because football players are braindead morons who don't have manners.

As an example, if a rugby player spoke to a referee like footballers do, they'd be off the pitch in seconds. And let's face it, if rugby players weren't gentlemen, a referee half the size of one of the players wouldn't stand a chance.
