OBVIOUSLY, Hats off to BOTH teams and coaches for a game well played last night. From what I've heard, it was a hard-fought match and neither team ever gave up or gave in.
I understand everyone's entitled to an opinion but I don't understand how any school official can allow fans to attack coaches, players, or anyone else associated with a sporting event or school activity and NOT ban them from attendance. How many times, in recent years, have we read about people asssociated with sporting events being hurt or even killed by an irate parent or fan? In my eyes, they're all just condoning such behavior when they try to overlook it or make excuses for it (for ANY reason). I honestly can't see why the home-team school officials didn't have the guy escorted out immediately and banned from school property. Would they look at it the same if a coach went up into the stands and attacked a fan? I'd venture to say he'd be looking for a new job today (and have a hard time finding one). Players, coaches, other fans, or anybody else for that matter, could get hurt in an altercation and open up a whole batch of lawsuits against a school system and/or their officials. Every fan should be required to act in a dignified manner at all times. Let the people know you won't tolerate such behavior from anyone and let the kids be proud of their schools and their fans and enjoy their sports. The school officials are just as guilty by not punishing the people who behave in such a manner. By making excuses or overlooking it, they give the appearance that they approve of it and only help to promote more of it in the future. Once again, just my opinion
