Jan. 22, 2009 - Do Unto Others...
I feel uncomfortable tonight. We went to my little brother's basketball game, and some of the parents were dreadful! (And I am talking about *our* parents here...the other team parents were quiet unless they scored, then they cheered. Quietly.
Our team parents yelled when the other team was trying for a foul shot, (bear with me here...I may get some of these basketball terms wrong) trying to make them miss. I mean, LOUD yelling, and cow bell ringing.
That's the only thing I can put my finger exactly on right now...the rest of the time they were pretty much just yelling, "Go Blake!" or whoever, so it didn't matter much, but that yelling, trying to distract, bothered me.
I wouldn't want it done to my little brother. The other team drove about 3 hours to come up to play our boys. There have been LOTS of times that's been my little brother driving long ways to play...I like to think the parents of the other team is respectful, at least, when he gets there.
