Student Participation at Home Games

What’s tea on y’all not coming to support our sports teams? It seems to me that y’all only like football and basketball because that has the most student participators by far. What about volleyball? How about soccer, baseball, bowling, softball, tennis, or track? Oh y’all just forgot they existed or something?
Seriously though what’s going on, our athletes push themselves every single time they play their sport and barely anybody or nobody shows! Where’s the appreciation for them?!
For example, let’s talk about how our volleyball team whooped on PVAMU last week. First of all, there were only a few people on both sides of Seymour scattered around in the bleachers and don’t even get me started on the crowd participation.
The only people chanting and cheering were my friends and I, and we cheered so much that my friend got a whole shoutout on Twitter from a few of the volleyball players (shoutout to y’all for sweeping them 3-0!!!)
In terms of other students, some cheered when we scored, but other than that, my friends and I were getting looks and stares. Stop being fake supportive on social media when y’all know y’all ain’t gonna show up and come out to these games, show genuine support!
Back to football, I don’t think y’all really mess with the football team either. If we’re being honest, I think y’all show up for the band, which is always good to support our lovely and illustrious Human Jukebox.
However, I see half of the student section of stadium leave after halftime on most games, and that’s how I know y’all are fake, because I’m willing to bet that those are the same ones to go on social media and complain about our players when we lose games. The more support we give our players, the more their performance is boosted!
When y’all are competing in any manner, you want people to support you right? If you’re in a pageant you’d want people to cheer you on, and support you in the competition. The same thing goes for all of our sports teams, they all need support from us.
If you live on campus and have nothing to do, then you should be at these games being supportive in your spare time. Come out and meet some new people, make some friends or get your squad and go support them as a group.
These games that y’all aren’t showing up to are actually more exciting than you may think, and who doesn’t want to see our athletes punish these other schools while we are snatching SWAC awards while they’re thinking “Dang I should’ve committed to SU.”
Don’t come to the games and be dry either, we gotta be lit for them to get lit and spring is coming that means baseball, softball, tennis, and track season is on the rise along with basketball which has already started for the men. Bring all the positive energy with a hint of hostility to Seymour, Mumford, the minidome or wherever we are playing at the time to SUpport our athletes!
