Wisconsin Implements Ridiculous High School Basketball Rule – No Negative Chanting Against Opponents

Why not force the athletes to openly encourage and root for the other team?

Forget keeping score, it’s hurtful, and give both sides trophies for their participation in glorious affirmation.

By the way, this rule isn’t about shouting “you suck!” or similar phrases. One of the things they don’t want shouted is “air ball!,” which refers to taking a shot that misses the backboard.

An email was sent with other banned phrases-

Included in the WIAA email were examples such as “You can’t do that,” “Fundamentals,” “Air ball,” “There’s a net there,” “Sieve,” “We can’t hear you,” the “scoreboard” cheer and “season’s over” during tournament play.

If I was in charge in Wisconsin, my email would read –

Who is the suckface in charge of these chants? They suck. When we go to the states I want the other team crying, not laughing. I want 10 hurtful chants by noon or I’m going to land someone’s head from 3-point land.

  1. I managed to learn [about 10 times quicker] through ridicule than a pat on the back and a participation trophy. That’s back when school was a place of learning, when thoughts, ideas and facts were taught and managed instead of nothing more than feeeeeeeelings.

  2. No longer. It’s a place where each child can have an area “safe space” to wallow in despair. A space to escape possible ridicule from giving the wrong answer or from having his/her feelings hurt.

    Learning of any sort other than transgender studies or alternative sexual lifestyles is verboten.
