RENTON, Wash. (AP) - 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.
The association director Mike Colbrese blames rude fans for the dwindling number of people who want to be coaches and officials.
He says the guidelines will remind fans to cheer for their team, not against the other.

How about a ban on name calling too? Instead of educating, teachers will be reduced to intervention counselors.

So if you boo, what do the speech police do?
Expel you?
Fine you?
Arrest you?
Imprison you?

Let's just stop keeping score and then both teams can win.
It's really not right that someone has to win and someone has to lose.
Geeez!

Next, they will ban scoring against opposing teams in sporting events.
After all, scoring against a team could cause their self-esteem to suffer.

We had a mascot one year leading the cheers on our side at an away game (still in Brooklyn, but closer to my house than my school was). Anyway, after the other sides boosters let out a cheer, he yelled out "VAAAAAAC CUUUUUUUUUUUM!"
Needless to say, it stunned more than a few people who didn't know what he had said. I overheard several adults from the school talking to him, and he quietly said, "What I said was 'vacuum'." To which the three looked at each other, scratched their heads, figured it was a teen thing and walked away with a belated, "well watch how you say it" or something like that.
Of course, that is why he said it like that.
