Anyway, during the visiting team player intros, the student section held up newspaper in front of their faces and yelled GARBAGE as each visiting team player was introduced. As a parent of a student there (my daughter was not in attendance last night) I was embarrassed as I think it is very tacky. I didn't say anything as an official but when I got home I asked my daughter about it and she said they did it every game and thought it was funny. I told her I had better never hear her doing it as I think it shows poor class and very poor sportsmanship. Of course to a teenager I am just an old fuddy who has no sense of humor.

Am I just getting too old or does this bother anyone else?
