A few weeks ago there was a Forum thread on Wisconsin sportsmanship guidelines (air ball chant, et al.).

Here in Connecticut, fans at two high schools have again challenged what is, and what is not, acceptable to be yelled by fans at a high school basketball game:
Capitol Prep reacts after Farmington High students taunt them over SAT scores | Myinforms
Boys basketball: Middletown AD files complaint with CIAC over behavior of Pomperaug student section [Updated] - GameTime CT
To summarize both articles (above), fans of the losing teams chanted "SAT Scores" near the end of both basketball games, seemingly to show school pride in an academic superiority (while accepting a lack of superiority in basketball), thus disrespecting the opposing high school.
We very often hear a "Football" chant when a high school that beat a rival opponent in football is now losing a basketball game to the same opponent.
School spirit? School pride? Disrespect? Sportsmanship? Political correctness? Correctness? Tough questions.
What if losing basketball team's fans chant "Chess Team"? "Robotics Team"? "Math Team"? More tough questions.
What kind of creative chants can we get when Yale plays Harvard, losing Harvard fans chant "Supreme Court Justices"?
Or the California Institute of Technology plays the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, losing MIT fans chant "Nobel Prizes"?
Disrespectful? Maybe?
Inappropriate at a basketball game?
