Me and My Big Mouth

I seem to have gotten in trouble with my opinions, This was because I offered this opinion regarding Bands distracting teams during basketball free throw shooting.

• Chris Walsh Bad Sportsmanship!!! The game should be won or lost on the Court. This is like making noise when someone is putting. I don't know how this sort of thing ever got started, but that should be a technical foul on the Buffs.

  MS X  Noooo. This is college basketball with tradition. Traditionally, you don't make noise when putting. At a soccer match, should people quiet down when a player has a free kick? I think it's kids having a great time and the players expect this sort of thing. It's no fun for the athletes to play to a crowd who's quietly sitting. It's all in good fun.

  Chris Walsh I strongly disagree. It is the same *%#! as when bands turn around during introductions. It is disrespectful, and I personally hate to see it. The only reason it is tradition is someone lowered the bar of sportsmanship and good taste and let it slide. I played for and in John Wooden's House. Think and embody class. You are never wrong if you hold yourself and your subordinates to a higher standard.

   

  People actually argued with this. I really don't think I am wrong. I think when people stand too close to a machine for too long, they don't hear it anymore.
