Countdown to April Break!
Have a Wonderful Break!

    Hide the children, they’re yelling “dribble dribble shoot”!

    Could you even imagine a bunch of high school kids together at one place yelling out such profanity like “dribble dribble shoot”? I mean this kind of language cannot, and should not, be tolerated in any public place. The amount of disrespect that comes out of those three words (and sometime they use a fourth word too, “spin”!) is just unthinkable. Now put those rowdy degenerates at a sporting event and they yell it all in unison while the opposing team takes free throws. That’s right you read that right, these monsters talk, no yell, during free throws! Have you ever watched a professional basketball game? Well if you haven’t, I’ll inform you on what happens while the away team takes free throws. During this span of time the fans in the arena take a seat, quietly observe the opposing player take his shot, then rise back to their feet when that player is done and give a near silent golf clap applauding the effort of the player.
    Now that I’m started, I’ll continue to express my anger about these so called fans. These hoodlums jeer and scream all game long as if they are at some crazy, sleazy rock and roll concert. Don’t they know they are in a gymnasium? The only place quieter than a gymnasium should be a church when it is not in use. They are just so inconsiderate to those who are trying to play the game. The players hate hearing people bellow out their names and they especially hate hearing well organized chants performed. You have no idea how angry I get when I go to sporting events and some kid thinks he is supporting his team by yelling out loud right in my ear. It is absolutely ridiculous the things kids think they can do these days…

      Dude – use the silent cheer – everyone stands, looks menacing and shakes their fists. Try it

      I’m glad you agree Bryan, kids really don’t understand the meaning of respect these days. What do they think this is, golf?

      This post was so funny!
      And I agree with everything you said. I mean, fans should always sit in COMPLETE silence.

      Cheering is not necessary. Who cares about showing some school spirit?
