I left the game because the language the fans yell is absolutely terrible. I did not want my 11 year old son to hear it anymore. I have been to lots of sporting events. They are the worst by far.

This is something I agree 100% with. I dont know if its that way on the Home side but on the visitor side lots of cussing and heckling from the FH fans on that side. I have been to alot of FH games and its pretty much the same thing everytime. You would think it would be kids doing this but no these guys are 30-70 yrs.old. Most of them stand up top behind the visitors side bleachers yelling crap down to the away team...I left the game because the language the fans yell is absolutely terrible.

I said something about this last yr. and got hammered on here for it... Find out for yourself, go sit on the visiting side near the top.
I wasn't at last nights game so I cant speak for that one but I do attend most FH home games. I experience the cursing/heckling almost every game for the past 2-3yrs. I would say 8 outta 10 times...I have sat/stood on the visiting side many, many times. I did last night. What foul language did I hear? Zip - Nada.
As mentioned earlier, have I encountered a few foul-mouthed jerks over many years at the stadium? Yes.
Is it something I have experienced on an every-game experience, an every-other game experience, an every-10 game experience...? Absolutely not.
We live in a world in which morals are not absolute, and, if we're really honest, they never have been.

Away side all the way to the left near the top.Okay - let me know where you sit, and I'll be certain to sit with you next time. That way, we can encounter the situation together either by confronting the individual(s) in a respectful manner, moving, and/or contacting a police officer. Are you game?
why did hillary have her goons there stirring up trouble?Thought I was at a Trump Rally
I have refrained from posting on this board for obvious reasons, and this has nothing to do with the game . FH was by far the superior team this year. But I have to tell you I brought my teenage son and Daughter up to that stadium for the first time , expecting to see the greatness that greenway was supposedly to be. I was impressed by the band and the facility. However, I have never in thirty years of going to a away games ever heard some of the things I heard that night on the visitors side of a high school game. Despicable is my only word for it. one guy less than 15 feet to my left was obviously drunk, and hollering the F word, to our players on the field, older guys up behind us calling out players saying " get that Pu**y off the field" . It wasn't random, it went on all night. I am thankful , that we will probably never play your team ever again, it is not a place I want my teenage kids at for a game . It's supposed to be a high school football. Fun to watch, teaching kids respect win or lose, and most of all show respect to your visitors. That's not what I saw. Good luck the rest of the way, feel sorry for your players if they ever have a bad year. Could only imagine how they would get talked to. Seems to me , FH fans should spend a little less time demeaning other teams fans and players , and the police should start patrolling the stands . You are correct @GenSneaky I will never come back there.After the hospitality Sherando showed us last year that everyone raved about my 1st thought was... "well they're gonna hate us next year when they come up here"

The reason I have never said anything on here is because this is the typical response that would be expected by people that have nothing to do with this issue on this board , likely some are part of problem. Like I said , after the drinking by Fort Hill fans in the Sherando parking lot prior to the game the year before, and after visiting Greenway this year. Glad it's over for that reason alone.Yep, and I'm certain you're not jumping on the bandwagon either, hamspear. You've had over a month to say something about this situation, but you didn't.
If you had such an experience perhaps you should have sought out a police officer. Trust me, they're always around.
I will say to you what I said to fanatic: Greenway Avenue Stadium is a rather large facility. If you were offended by the language perhaps you should have moved, confronted the individuals speaking the alleged language and asked them to stop, or contacted a police officer.
While it has been on a very rare occasion, I've witnessed police officers escort drunken adults out of a game.

Winning isnt an excuse for having drunk idiots at the games trying to pick fights with the visitors. This has nothing to do with us losing to FH. I was talking about this problem last yr. way before Homecoming. The definition of FANatic isnt A-Hole...Here's a copy and paste job from another message board talking about how "obnoxious OSU" fans are..
I must say, I came across more obnoxious OSU fans than any other B1G game so far
I try to be courteous and welcoming to our new visitors (as I would hope they would treat me if I went to their place).
Every B1G game the last few years has been very civil until today. People were blaring that cheesy OHIO song in the parking lot and just acting ignorant.
I understand your team is good, and I can see the scoreboard, so no need to act like a dick after every score.
A gal in OSU gear was behind me in line to get a beer in the first half and I pointed out to her that she had dropped her ID. She gave me the finger. I could only shake my head….

Ohio fans are horrible
95% didn’t even attend the school.
Sound familiar? It seems as though "obnoxious fans" and winning go hand and hand. I mean seriously, what does Alco fans have to talk about after losing 10 straight or Sherando fans after getting curb stomped, besides the FH fan base? I remember in the not too distant past Alco fans bragging about all their state championships and name calling. Now they can't even fill a quarter of the bleachers at home games. I remember not so long ago Hamspear bragging about how big, bad, and tough Sherando was, and how they played much bigger, better, and tougher competition. Losing 49-21 has a way of quieting the crowd. The only thing these teams can do is be humble and take the beating. But in all honesty do we really think opposing teams wouldn't be as obnoxious as OSU or FH if they weren't gettting their teeth kicked in? You really think terps fans would be complaining about the OSU fan base if they were the ones that just won by 60 pts? Do we really think Alco would be talking about FH fans if they were the ones that just mercy ruled FH? No, they would be talking about mercy ruling FH. Do we really think Hamspear would have went MIA for the last 2 yrs after each game if he didn't insert his foot in his mouth and Sherando actually won or even made it remotely competititive? No, he would be on here talking about how FH should rethink scheduling the mighty and powerful Sherando team. Losing has a humbling effect, and winning tends to bring the worst out in people. Not excusing it, not condoning it, just explaining it... Teams like OSU and FH have fans for a reason. They have consistent, long standing, winning traditions. Here's a brief etymology lesson, fan is short for FANatic. The definition of FANatic is marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion. Which pretty much sums up the FH and OSU FAN base. Teams like Sherando and Alco have football parents, coupled in with students and the occasional fair weather fan when their team is doing good..

I suggest you take a brief history lesson in the violence at sporting events... I was an innocent bystander at the Ravens/Steelers game last year and damn near had to end up fighting my way out.. Because some idiots decided they wanted throw popcorn and Jolly Rogers at the people next to me and I had my kids with me... I didn't cry and complain to the NFL. I guess you've never watched a soccer event or seen any riots? It all comes with the territory... If you're overly sensitive or don't know how to handle these teachable moments I suggest you stay home...
Yep I know the group your talking about. They go back out at halftime for more drinks.. I think what most of these people forget is that this is a High School Event...the first problem here is someone that gets drunk and goes to a High School football game in the first place.
There is a group of tailgaters every week up by the stadium, they are drunk and then go into the game and a few others stand outside behind the scoreboard and watch from the fence while drinking on a public sidewalk which is against the law. It really is sad
What does that have to do with this being a local community event that we bring our children to? I completely agree with Camper21502.
It's the same reason pee wee teams cringe at the thought of playing the Cardinals. We are leaving last impressions on our youth, and I view that as a heavy burden that we should be taking seriously. I don't know how you feel about the youth, but I know MY kids are worth it. I took my daughter off of that team's cheerleading squad because after losing in the championship 5 or 6 years ago there was a parent amoung 10-12 year olds screaming out "I'm a go pop my trunk"!!!! In other words he was threatening to kill people over a loss... just wow
Last year my oldest daughter wanted her BF to sit with us at the game. I also had my seven year old. My oldest had some deep fried Oreos and got some powder on her nose. The BF thought it would be cute to say in front of my youngest... "hahaha looks like she has cocaine on her nose"... so I invited him to take a walk with me. I spoke to him like a man and told him "if you're going to sit with my family, at a family event you're going to have respect for my entire family and what they hear". He respected it and changed his behavior, however I fear I wouldn't have to same success talking to a rowdy drunk at the game.
But maybe I'm just being to sensitive. But in my view I'm being responsible
Because people have already pointed out that it's not limited to just South Cumberland... Its a sport ing event phenomena. Its a a societal problem... I've seen it happen on every level with different teams and different segments off the populace.. Pointing out one team and ignoring the overall problem doesn't serve a purpose other than to be a cry baby and sore loser..
