First down cheer reflects poorly on MSU sportsmanship

I know that similar opinions have been published in The State News before, but I feel the need to remind Spartan fans to demonstrate more class in Spartan Stadium. I cringe every time I hear the first down cheer roar from the student section.

I too spent many games standing on the bleachers in the student section cheering on our Spartans in what may have seemed like total debauchery, but I never behaved in a way that would make opposing teams think I completely lacked good judgment.

Our football team displays a proud example of sportsmanship and class when they walk to the stadium in suits and ties, fans should take a hint. The first down cheer is a burden on the reputation of the Spartans.
