I'm not that bothered by this. Part of (most of?) the fun of team sports is team loyalty. People often complain that fans are more loyal to the team than the players. It's okay to admire the talent of players, but you are supposed to be for your team. If the kid had not been wearing the jersey of a team rival, things would have probably gone differently.

I agree 100%. The kid is old enough to know about team loyalty. If he did not know, he should know now.
