ABC News: Officials Weigh Booing Ban at High School Games

Is it okay to express ones self at all times, regardless of the venue? Well, maybe not all venues, but I think it’s certainly okay to boo at a high school game!

Listen, the kids are going to get booed at some point or other. If they pursue college ball, then they are definitely going to get booed. If they decide to go on to the professional level, they will most definitely get booed. It’s just part of sports. If you can’t handle the boos, then I’m afraid you don’t need to be playing the game. That’s first of all: second of all, the schools do not need to be banning the boos. Booing is our way, as spectators, to express our disgust with a ref’s call or a player’s behavior. What should we do? File a protest during the middle of the game to express our anger? No, thanks.

Keep the booing. It’s part of sports.
