I applaud your speaking out. My son is in high school and when we were at state this year at Hayes I was shocked at entire crowds booing. The good sportsmanship I had always seen in wrestling prior was one of the factors that brought me to love this sport. After years of basketball and watching crowds yelling, throwing things, booing, and all other vile things, going to a wrestling match where the energy was just as charged, but completely positive was very refreshing. Then to have that myth shattered by bad sportsmanship (and they were the best teams, to boot!) Yell all you want - but keep it positive - those are KIDS out there!
