Re: Cheering, standing ovations, and required team actions during matches and awards
I have a perfectly easy and logical solution to this whole problem. We'll take the Texas A&M method of having everyone stand for the entire game/day.
Seriously, though, I have no problem with standing Os and people cheering and stuff, but some consideration needs to be given to the people behind you. There are older and/or less able mentors in the stands and you could be sitting in front of them. If someone asks you to please sit down, think about doing so. Don't assume they're not standing just because they're lazy or not spirited. If you had a teammate with a busted knee or ankle, you wouldn't make him stand up every other match so he could see, would you? Or would you make him get up and change seats every few matches so you wouldn't be standing up in front of him? Like much of life, there's a balance to be struck between your own needs and desires, and those of others.
