This is a false statement Feniks... sorry mate.
Respect is earned and is often a one way street. The new addition to a team doesnt hold the respect of the rest until it is in fact earned. And he cant hope to earn it without first showing it to the veterans of the team. The definition of the word is clear, unfortunately lost in todays day and age. Too many think they are entitled to respect when they've done nothing to earn it. So... they default to not showing any to those deserving and in turn only make it harder on themselves to receive any.
re·spect
rəˈspekt/Submit
noun
1.
a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
If that were the case, one could treat all new players like sh*t because they haven't earned the respect. But that isn't how it works.
A person is given respect until they show they don't deserve that respect.

Disagree completely. That new player you speak of will never give respect if he is constantly harassed and denigrated simply because he is the "new guy".
Never worked in a trade profession then? Comes standard as an apprentice.. how about a sports team?.. standard there too.
I work in a trade and was at one time an apprentice. Apprentices are known to be green and likely know very little about the industry, but that doesn't mean they aren't treated respectfully. From my own experiences, apprentices lose respect over a myriad of reasons, the most common being arrogance and failure to listen and learn, but when they first start, they are still given respect as individuals.
If you treat an apprentice like dirt, just because they are an apprentice, you have shown that you don't deserve respect from your peers nor the apprentices.
