Standing Up During Competition...

[Jeremiah Johnson]

I've read and given thought to everyone's post in this thread, yet I've found no particular evidence to sway my line of thinking.

IMHO, many of the posts on this thread are close-minded and frankly, hate to say it, ungracious. Stating outright that people standing up are being unsportsmanlike or un-GP because they're expressing their excitement and joy for competing in such a respectable program in concerning to me. Neg-rep me if you want, I don't care. It's just my opinion and unless I see enough evidence to sway my position, then it probably won't change.

You mean the intense cheer-off between 648 and 1710 nearly the entire weekend? Or 107 and 648 cheering for each other during matches, even when they played against each other?
