I've been covering these games for just over three years and even in that small amount of time, fans are less respectful, more ignorant and louder about it than they were at the start.<BR/>The schools we cover are no exception, nor do I give fans anywhere a free pass. Something has to be done about it, but I'm not sure what. Education and maturation starts at a younger age than the average age of the perpetrators. I could understand such behavior from students and other teenagers, while not condoning it. But I have no comprehension of how adults, well advanced of my own age, failed to learn common decency and respect.<BR/>While I fully believe sports can bring out the best in people, there is no denying they can bring out the worst as well.Ryan Pipkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16576451190612938143noreply@blogger.com
