Sounds like a bunch of liberal BS . . . . .HShockeywatcher wrote:I heard the state of WI is going to ban any sort of negative chanting by fans directed toward the refs, fans or the game in general. Only positive.
On the surface this could be a positive thing, but there should be a place for (1) complaining about things done wrong and (2) playful taunting. Additionally, leaves room for sarcasm. Just my two cents.
In my opinion, you (the fans) can have fun directing comments toward players on the other team all you want. Once it is directed toward schools as a whole, other fans, other people, etc, that crosses the line. This is something many private schools do to public schools, public schools do to private schools, poor communities to not as poor, etc. Whoever starts it game by game is at fault, in my opinion.

I know, it's kind of wierd. When the played EP they were getting "Daddy's money" and "2 4 6 8 Edina chicks are overweight" thrown at them all day, but they just stood there and took it. I don't know what the deal isscoreboard33 wrote:If you are talking about teams, I really don't know.
Fans, its gotta be Edina. They sit their and don't say anything. They suck and I would hate to be in high school, now. I guess never do anything can be mistaken for sportsmanship, but it is ridiculous how politically correct they are/ are forced to be.
Good one, EP kids saying "Daddy's Money". That's like the pot calling the kettle black.HockeyMN1 wrote:I know, it's kind of wierd.
