The Red Sea is in dire need for a leader. While our school is brimming with spirit, we need someone who can direct that energy into cheers.
This was mainly brought to my attention at the game on Saturday. As we lost points to the other team and suffered unfortunate calls from the refs, instead of staying supportive, the student section became more profane.
The football players do not want to hear their fans yelling at the refs and screaming about how much the hate the other team. They want to hear our support and cheers no matter what happens.
Not only is it not what the football players want to hear, it makes our school look bad. We always complain about other schools when they are rude to our team, but essentially we were doing the same thing.
Honestly, I can not think of a single time when it is appropriate to flip off the other team or the refs. If we want to maintain our image on and off the field, the student section needs to get it together and offer more appropriate support for our team.

Go “Hands up?” Who talks like that? Fans don’t go “hands up” during a game. That’s why they’re in the stands. No one said anything about not being “strong.”
Perhaps the section would be “stronger” if so many students did’t feel uncomfortable and lame screaming obscenities and derision.

WRONG, the football players want a strong and rough student section. Willing to go “hands up” with anyone

Well said. In the end, it’s all about “we believe.” I like to curse as much as the next guy, but screaming profanities at the refs hasn’t worked in the past, and it doesn’t work now, either.
