[Football1]

I work in London, and I came down to watch the game Friday because I knew Rock was playing well and Knox had been improving all year. I don't have a kid on either team or am not related to any of the players or coaches on each team, I just like football. You seem like a real nice considerate guy. But someone at Knox needs to tell Knox Central(the school) that they need to keep the mouthy parents or fans back from the players for the opposing team a little more. They were sitting in lawn chairs and moving up and down the field to within inches of the players for Rock on the Rock sidelines. They were not being very nice either. I realize that Knox cannot control everyone at the game, but they (the KNOX fans) were about as rude as any I have ever seen. They were talking smack the whole time I was there. I would hate to see what they act like when they lose. It was a bad way to treat the kids and coaches on the opposing team. Knox fans need to learn some graciousness in winning (and most likely in losing too).

I'm proud to be a part of this town even though I did not grow up here nor do I intend to grow old here. For the most part the people are loving and honorable. But your comments do not surprise me. We have our unfair share of folks who lack the social graces required to enjoy a seat so close to the action without having to say something stupid. I know KC has considered roping off the track and forcing all fans to sit in the stands. I'm not connected to the school in any way besides having kids who attend. But I would suggest that as the next possible move to prevent what you have described.
