So were we back then. And, that furthers my point. Today is so much more different than 40 years ago when it comes to fandom class. As another poster pointed out, 'Sit down Norm' was the norm

Ya well it's not the 80s anymore. Thank the Gods for that.So were we back then. And, that furthers my point. Today is so much more different than 40 years ago when it comes to fandom class. As another poster pointed out, 'Sit down Norm' was the norm
Listen, I’m no prude. I’ve done more than my share of crazy stuff particularly in my youth. I know you aren’t / can’t stop it. If you try they’ll double down and go twice as much. And for the record I’m not even proposing you try. The simple question I asked if anyone else cringed.
when you’re 20 you don’t think about or care what older people think. I get it. I just looked at that dad yesterday multiple times wondering how he explains that to his son.
That being said, when I posted the first time I wasn’t thinking about or took into consideration the last name of the Kansas player. That’s old age I guess.

Should take the kid to a Serbian Euroleague game to toughen them up a bit
Not an opinion shared by all.
But that’s what’s supposed to be great about our country is we can differ yet still respect. Can’t we?
Too much creativity and you can’t even execute a chant effectively across an entire student section.
Targeting the coach with some friendly ribbing is simple and effective. And clearly would’ve gotten in Tang’s head given his antics lately.
The you suck **** isn't good now that Grady is gone. Don't try to sell me on Dickinson. I was a crass obnoxious student back in my day, so I can't get too mad either at today's kids cursing.
I have a four year old. If I choose to take him to an event where I KNOW this is going to happen that's on me as a parent.
I can't protect my four year old from everything I don't approve of. My job as a parent is to tell him the people doing that are adults who are free to make their own choices but those aren't good choices and he will be disciplined if he does the same behavior.
This is wild but maybe it's just my job to parent?
How do you know they do it every game if you have only been to one game as implied by "an".
What 8 year old these days isn’t going around saying that word around school?
1. I grew up thinking that college students were the more intelligent and creative portion of the population. The use of simple vulgarities does not impress me. I expect that from a high school dropout but not a Cyclone.
2. Using primarily simple vulgar language is easy for the opponent to process and ignore. Using unusual and more creative verbal barbs would be more distracting.

It is your job as a parent to make sure your kid knows that it is only ok to use the F word when saying F KU.
In an all seriousness, as a parent you have to expect that your kid will be exposed to curse words when taking them to a sporting event. College or professional. I’ve heard so much worse than those chants growing up and going to soccer games (outside the US), and I turned out mostly ok, I think.

Many people here would clutch their pearls at soccer games. Especially South America and places like the Balkans
I take my kids (10 and 7 y/o) to Hilton all of the time. They are not hearing any words there that they’ve never heard before.
Those poor referees’ mommas… I’ve learned so much about them during those soccer games.
