Not so much hate from me anymore. Used too, not so much now. I "quietly" root against teams, but not out loud. At some point, I just felt small cheering so hard for someone to lose.

I got an eye opener this year by attending my first girls basketball state tournament at Diddle. Honestly, I was shocked at the cheers, signs and etiquette I saw from the fans of many schools. Maybe it's like that at all basketball games, I don't know, I haven't that attended many outside the friendly confines of our gym. I do know that our kids would be suspended if caught doing the stuff we saw. I just assumed it was that was everywhere, until the state tourney.
