Tri-County Football

textWe recently went to Waterloo for a Midget football game. Now, I have to say, Waterloo boys can play some football. However, Waterloo fans are the worst in the league. They were rude, and downright insulting in every fashion. Apparently, they've never been to a football game in another town. Do they not know that there should be seating for both the home fans and away fans? Apparently NOT!!! This could potentially cause an irate condition and has the propensity to cause many arguments. I know I was standing in one position and a fan from Waterloo came and stood RIGHT in front of me. I moved, so did she. Now, I'm hoping that someone who is supporting youth athletics and supposedly would have the interest in a team learning, would know better than this...but I have my doubts. Not to mention an elderly gentlemen wanting to start a fight with one of our grandparents. Not a way to run a game. Each team's fans should be on a separate side. Also, the cheerleaders from a particular team should be on the same side as the team. Not on the side of the visiting team. It does not bode well for Waterloo. I know that Southern Illinois people get the rap a lot of times as people being "hicks"; from my experience in Waterloo, they are living up to that tradition. Very poor sportsmanship. I can just say I'm glad we'll be done with Tri County Football this year and can look forward to good, organized high school football coming next year. I feel sorry to all the Tri County teams that have to visit this poorly organized situation in years to come.
