Sports Fans

Date February 26, 2004

Just got back from a Wendell Trojan’s basketball game. Sat next to a screaming woman. Screaming at the ref over a “bad call” when Wendell was 25 pts ahead in the 3rd quarter. I don’t get people like that. I don’t want to be the parent who gets kicked out of their son’s JV basketball game. Maybe since I haven’t had kids and seen them involved in sports, I don’t get it. Anyone out there want to enlighten me? I wanted to turn to this lady sitting right next to me and be like, “Hey! Seriously - we’re not gonna lose this game…chill.” But I didn’t. However, when the son of a pastor friend of mine (who was on the opposing team) hit a 3-pointer, I did cheer and clap for him. I only hope that pissed her off a little. Ahh, the Spirit of Lent…

    The reason that parents do that at the childs sports game is because they really want to embarass their child… I mean just ask any kid if they really want there parents ranting and raven over some call their not gonna change anyway. That is my guess being one who was in sports and still is.
