I had two free tickets to the women's basketball game this afternoon. Since Jonathan was out of school, I took him along, and we had a fun time. Our team won by 30 points. Yay team!
Women's basketball is pretty great. We got to sit up near the very front where we could see everything, and still the seats all around us were empty. Jonathan used the row of seats in front of us for a foot rest.
The part that is difficult for me, however, is the whole "team spirit" thing.
You see, I was an undergraduate at the university that is the arch-rival of the place that offered me a job. So when I attend sporting events at the university that is the job, and they play the job fight song, I only know the impolite lyrics. But when there are only 50 fans in the entire basketball arena, and our girls are doing so well, I feel I ought to cheer them on.
But if I sing *that* fight song, what does that make me?
My compromise is that I can cheer and applaud politely. But I cannot rise and shout. Still no.
