Letter to the editor
Jeering the opponents does not count as support for home team

Last night, I attended the women’s basketball game against San Jose State.

While I left the game thrilled that our team had won, accomplishing something no other women’s basketball team has done in TCU history — winning the Western Athletic Conference championship — I was also disappointed.

I was disappointed and angry with the actions of some of my fellow students. Not only did these fans (including TCU Band members) yell at the referees every time a call was made against TCU, but they also heckled members of the opposing team and shouted negative comments to their coach.

When I was growing up, I was taught that a good fan cheered for his or her team, not against the other team.

I found the actions of these fans to be inappropriate, rude and not very sportsmanlike. So much for Texas Christian University when it comes to a basketball game. I guess next time I’ll sit somewhere else.
