May be football, but I hate hearing all the swearing that passes for commom speech nowadays.

I do have laugh, though, thinking back 40 years to when I was in high school, and the most risque cheer we'd yell from the stands was,
Rah Rah Ree
Kick him in the knee,
Rah Rah Rass,
Kick him in the other knee! ;o)

I always liked Steve Martin’s cheers:

“Die, you gravy sucking pigs!”

“Try to score a touchdown, you scumbags!”

You made me laugh with your risque cheer.

I remember years ago sitting at a Harvard-Yale game and hearing the kids chant: "You can beat us on the field but you can't beat us off." I stopped and said to myself whhhaaa?

I can't believe I just said that.

Yeah ... then everyone would giggle about it. - for me 50 years ago.

“May be football, but I hate hearing all the swearing that passes for commom speech nowadays.”

To me this is indicative of low self esteem and ignorance. The root cause being weak and ineffective parental models and few school teachers worth their salt.
