Asking us to stand during football game not very polite

TO THE EDITOR:

I’m a varsity cheerleader here in Warren County, and I have many things I’d like to say about the previous letter to the editor about the White County-Warren County football game.

I will agree with one statement about the cheerleaders. I will say it was rude for us to go onto the Sparta side with our student section. We should have stayed in the visitor area.

Although with one instance I will not agree. Our student section had nowhere to sit at this game. It’s not our fault we have many supporting fans. If they knew that it has been that way for the past two years, then why didn’t they rope off a section for our students to sit? That’s what we’re wondering.

I also find it very unsafe they have such a small entrance going into the visitor side. If there were to be a threat, fire, etc, how do you think everyone would get out in time? They wouldn’t. Also, if you are handicapped and are attending the game on the visitor side, do they honestly expect you to relocate to the home side and go all the way around? All I really see in that situation is discrimination.

Also, I thought it was a extremely rude to tell us if there wasn’t anymore room to just stand up. With all due respect, if there wasn’t room for you to sit, I can almost guarantee you would be very upset.

On a different note, I’ll show some class here and say the prayer before the game was very much appreciated, as said in another previous letter.

Sincerely,
