Can we come up with a new way to express our opinions about speech without using the cliche political correctness?

It is getting old that every time someone has a standard for what is acceptable, that it has to be "political correctness." Well I have been around this world for some time, and there were always standards of behavior with students when they were representing their schools or still students.

Peace

Agree. How do these standards apply to student fans yelling "SAT Scores" at a basketball game to disrespect another high school?

We're Number One, Football, Chess Team, Robotics Team, Math Team, Supreme Court Justices, Nobel Prizes, Air Ball, Ignoring, or (worse) booing, opponent’s starting lineup?

All disrespect the opponent's school to some degree.

Most Forum members have been involved with high school sports their entire life (athletes, parents, fans, coaches, officials). What's appropriate, and what's not?
