The players get paid so much, they shouldn't have a problem with a little humble pie once in a while. That would be the professional thing to do... to just let it be known that they are unphased by morons who had too many drinks. No matter what happens, if you get mad and show it by doing the wrong thing, some people are going to think less of you for what ever happened, or laugh at you.
Sure it isn't cool to look like you got punked in the spotlight, but I think it's different if you just carry on and appear stong and mature.
