With regard to cheering, requiring teammates to stand and cheer, and being bothered by teams in front of you who are cheering, I would like to start a new thread. This seems to be a sticky issue with a few different sides and opinions. I can see what Ally (and others are saying), and I would like to take the time to address this logically by starting another thread.
This other thread is called
Cheering, standing ovations, and required team actions.
Go there to debate that issue as you wish. Continue to whine about FIRST in this thread. (sorry... couldn't resist...
)
