But, hey, if we're not there -- and we should not be because this isn't part of the game any more -- then the schools can do their teaching / good sportsmanship / good
PR thing to their hearts' content. It's the administrators, ADs or school districts who institute this so let them oversee it.
(Now, to bend back the other way a bit, seeing that video clip reminds that the places that might need the lessons this all teaches the most might not have the security or crowd control needed to make it work. At least with football, hockey and even baseball, there are barriers between fans and the players.)
