Do you portray this when you are in your home town? That's what I was referring to. If so, to each his own but I can't understand how someone can LOVE being at games and not cheer.balla45 wrote:I go to games and sit there with my arms crossed and probably look like I do not want to be there.

You mention you have way better things to do other than watch your 8th graders play BB, and sit there with your arms crossed. I guess that must mean you would rather spend your time watching tape of every team in the state for your traveling teams, like you posted in a earlier post. I don't want a person who isn't energetic and showing enthusiasm to be coaching my kids. Balla, you rub me wrong. We have totally different perspectives, which makes for interesting conversation. Time to meet up and have lunch. When you comin to Fargo next. Would love to visit, but you didn't take me up on my last offer so I'm sure you wont again.

if the world needs a Cloned fan then I would say pass a bill in the State legislature and they can all come in sit down and hug one another, say nothing shake hands get up and leave
the one thing I have noticed that never used to be near as common is an

I've never witnessed anything like this, but if I did, I would miss the rest of the game after being escorted from the gym for confronting whoever did something so despicable.
Since you are pretty specific, I'm guessing this has happened recently and that saddens me greatly.

People don't think now-a-days! I've heard racial slurs from fans and players over the past several years, in-game or post-game...it is saddening!

I really enjoy a good ruckus crowd. But I am kind of like Balla in that I enjoy the game, enough that I don't feel the need to cheer. I attend enough games where I am not pulling for either team. I just want to be entertained and enjoy the "show". I get that the experience is likely different if you are only going to games where you have a vested interest like a relative playing or you are back from college watching your old teammates playing. Personally I think I would get worn out if if had to emotionally pull hard for a team in every game I watched.
I remember when I was young cheering for the Vikings. If they lost on Sunday, often it would bring me down for a few days. Life is to short. If you are playing, coaching, or officiating, put 100% into the game. But, when it is over, reflect on it, learn from it and move on.
