This evening I attended a high school volleyball game. It was being played by an all girls school vs a regular high school. There were some boys in the audience from the local all boys school cheering their sisters on. As the all girls school proceeded to score more points than the other school, the chanting became louder from the home teams student body section. That is until they were told to only chant positive statements.

I am grateful that I grew up in a time where we were not easily offended and true trash talking was appreciated. If didn’t perform then you were cheered or jeered. That was sports.
