[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 554869, member: 14557"] Unfortunately many people also around here believe that when they pay their seats, that gives them the right to yell whatever they want. Fortunately players don't really hear the shouts that well over all the other noise in pro-games, but I have few times been in junior games where someone has yelled idiotic things. And that is bad because there is often only few hundred people or less and people are not much cheering or anything, just watching, so everyone can hear everything. In pro games security officers usually kick someone out only if they use racist slurs, almost anything else is fair game however bad taste. Slurs against my difficult child I have heard cover everything from his stealing, how bad player he is, him being minority (not skin colour so it's not considered racial), our family (or more my husband's job), his unpopularity among team mates to his appearance (how ugly he is, how bad his hair is etc.) And difficult child is not an only youngish player in his league even though it is a pro league. Almost every year there even tends to be two or three players who are still minors. And few more of 18-year-olds like my difficult child last year. And to me it just feels unreasonable that adult people, people in their forties or fifties or even older yell all kind of slurs for so young kids. Or yell really personal things even for adults who probably have thicker skin but still comments about their divorce, custody cases or serious health issues are just way out of line for me. Of course I still have to say that most cringe worthy comments of my son I have heard on the stands of the junior level game. difficult child had just turned sixteen and played with U18 squad and in one game behind me were guys from U20 squad and few young pro players from the same club and they were talking and joking about difficult child's genitals, literally, not in 'he has cojones'-way. I'm sure nothing can get more cringe worthy than that. (Okay, reading implying to same topic in his team's fan message board is also bad. I don't go to that board any more.) [/QUOTE]
