I HATE organized cheers by the teams. Wouldn't be so bad if it were occassional and diverse, but so many teams just recycle the same couple of cheers on a continual basis.

I HATE CHEERS! But it's not my game, it's theirs. And as an umpire, I am not going to stop them unless the remarks are disparaging or degrading to the opponent or officials.

But I STILL HATE CHEERS!
