A Supplement to The Eunice News
Sportsmanship should carry over to the stands By Tom Dodge tom.dodge@eunicetoday.com
I have been covering sports in St. Landry Parish since 1996 and I have met hundreds of great coaches and players who gave all they had to their sport. I have also sat in the stands next to fans who berate and cuss everything decision the coach makes and every mistake the athlete had. This poem I found several years ago explains how a parent feels when they hear fans curse at their son or daughter: Please Don’t Curse The Boy Down There Please don't curse the boy down there. He is my son, you see. He's only a boy, you know and means a lot to me. I did not raise my son, Sports Fan, For you to call him names.
He may not be a superstar, But it's really just a game. Please don't curse the boys down there. They do the best they can. They never tried to lose a game. They're boys - and you're a man. The game belongs to them, you see, And you are just a guest. They do not need a fan like you, They need the very best. If you have nothing nice to say, Please leave the boys alone. And if you can't enjoy the game, Then why don't you stay home? So please don't curse the boys down there, Each one's his parent's son. And win or lose, or tie, you see To us they're number one!!
