Nope can't do it sorry. Yeah if a team is 3-0 down with 30 seconds to go maybe I get it. But I feel I need to support the team at full time to give them the support to go out next game and that the support is there through win and losses, thick and thin.
Oh really you're not allowed?? Wow that's crazy. I still remember as a kid my dad screaming 'snap him!' (I was a defender). I'm in shock this has all changed. I understand the phrases you used to get away with going but no cheering that's pretty nuts.
I like that about US college sports teams. I asked my brother-in-law and he said there's a large support because (at face value at least) there's no money involved. Players playing for the sport. He also said that college teams aren't allowed players' names on the jerseys because it's about the team and not names. I like that. I must say, I had a great time.
I also like the draft, it's a very socialist approach to signing players and limits crazy salaries and greedy agents. However, the downside, is teams might be tempted to play to lose to get a better pick.
Yes, plenty of emotional tears from me. I'm a Liverpool fan. I tend to cry at successes rather than losses. I'm not sure if you're aware but there is a very recent famous impossible victory in the Champions League against Barcelona. I cried at full time in the stands. I also cried when they ultimately won that competition (my father-in-law was over too and we watched in Liverpool), and I cried last year when they won the Premier League.
