12 Reasons

12 Reasons I Don’t Go to Sporting Events Anymore

 

1.  The coach never came to visit me.  

 

2.  Every time I went, they asked me for money.

 

3.  The people sitting in my row didn’t seem friendly. 

 

4.  The seats were too hard.

 

5.  The referees made some decisions I didn’t agree with.

 

6.  I was sitting with hypocrites — they only came to see what others were wearing!

 

7.  Some games went into overtime and I was late getting home.

 

8.  The band played some songs I had never heard before.

 

9.  The games are scheduled on my only day to sleep in and run errands.

 

10.  My parents took me to too many games when I was growing up.

 

11.  Since I read a book on sports, I feel like I know more than the coaches anyway.

 

12.  I don’t want to take my children because I want them to choose for themselves whether they want to be sports fans or not.

 

Sound familiar?
