Washington Interscholastic Activities Association is drafting guidelines to ban booing at school sporting events.

Published by Karl at 4:38 pm under Idiots, Schools, Stupid Laws

Oh for the…Are they serious?  Sadly, yes.  Filed under “idiots” for obvious reasons.

The organization that oversees high school sports in Washington is considering more specific rules for fans that could ban booing and offensive chants.

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association is drafting guidelines to crack down on negative conduct.

I can understand banning physical threats and violence. But booing?  Since when is team loyalty a crime?  Since when is school spirit bad?

The association director blames rude fans for the dwindling number of people who want to be coaches and officials.

Oh, Puuuuuleeze!

He says the guidelines will remind fans to cheer for their team, not against the other.

The penalty is still secret1 but rumor says that the first violation will result in a stern lecture that makes understand that you made the other team feel really bad.

Second offense will result in being order to apologize publicly and stand in the corner for 10 minutes. 

A third offense will be to write on the score board “I am not a good sport” 100 times and to have to wear the “I’m mean” T-shirt for the rest of the game.

Rumor also suggests that next on their agenda is to make all games end in ties, so none of the players have to deal with the trauma of losing and the presentation of “Everyone is a winner” tee shirts.

Also they plan on banning “Neener Neener”, “Nyah”, nose thumbing and “I know you are but what am I”?

Idiots.

    HA! This actually reminds me of something they did at my school. Ever since I got to Gig Harbor high school instead of singing “home of the brave” at the end of the national anthem at the assemblies we’d always say “home of the tides” (school mascot…don’t ask me what kind of mascot that is because its pretty much the dumbest thing ever…our mascot is a tide? Don’t ask) and last year they had an assembly and at the beginning they asked us to not say that because it was disrespectful even though we’d been saying it since, I don’t know, probably since the school was built decades ago. No one really listens because honestly who really listens to that kind of crap. I’m going to say what I want and you cant stop me and I’d like to see you try.
