Jimmy Carlton's Blogs: WIAA rules seek to curb student chants such as "air ball" and "scoreboard"

What a joke!!!!! Just another step in the wussification process that is sweeping this country.

Are kids and their parents so soft that when they get called out by a student section their fragile egos are affected for life?

I hope the kids ignore this and keep the chants alive!

This!!!

Now...if they wanted to pass such an rule/guideline to stop girls from yelling "BALL...BALL...BALL...BALL..." all the time around here I am behind them 100%. I often want to say "Yep...a big orange one." to them when they start.

I had a mom stand up in stands last night and yell at the student section. Home mangmt went to student section and had them all move to end of gym nearest their bench , it was the home teams fans. This was a JH boys game. And the kids were just being kids, nothing unsporting etc. I thought it very silly. This mom was probably 40 and she couldn't take it? Very very silly.


I wish I had a cool signature

After they get all the teachers, coaches and fans to be positive - we're next.

Why was this even sent to the Student-Athletes? The WIAA changes are way over the top.As long as nothing said is personal or derogatory why do we care? The suspension is warranted in my mind for the language used in the tweet.If she wanted to say the WIAA changes are stupid/ridiculous that's fine but she's gotta learn profane tweets have consequences.

You honestly think that was harmless?

I have the same reaction to things like "sieve" or "A rope, a tree, ..." It's directed to a specific person and is intended to be demeaning (or even a threat). It has no place in high school sports.

"Start the bus up.", "Scoreboard", "C'mon stupid, hit the wall" - those don't bother me in nearly the same way. Although the last one does call a specific player stupid, so I may have to rethink that one.

Good grief. Even as a a-hole teenager I didn't chant crap like that.

Only because you weren't smart enough to think of it?
