Crazy Fan



Are you a football fan? Are you or is anyone you know a "crazy fan"? Have you ever seen anyone over-react at a sporting event? If so, what happened? Why do you think people get so excited about sports, yet seem so disinterested in most everything else? Explain whether you think sportsmanship is more important for players or fans.

No I'm definitely not a football fan, and I don't know anyone that's crazy enough about football to act like that. I have no idea why people get so excited about sports, I don't have any interest in them at all. I guess people seem so interested in sports and seem so disinterested in most everything else because sports are entertaining. I think sportsmanship is important for both players and fans.

Yes, I am a football fan. No, I am not a crazy fan nor is any of my family a crazy fan. I have seen people over-react to the Superbowl before. People get excited about sports because they need something to be excited about. I think sportsmanship is equally important to players and fans. Because both represent their team and what school or region they come from.

I am not really a fan of football. No, I am not a crazy fan, or nor do I know a crazy fan like shown in the video. I have seen many people overreact at a sporting event. Fans and sometimes players will lose their temper. One basketball player that comes to mind when I watch the video is Ron Artest. A fan started an ugly brawl at a game and Ron Artest along with team members fought fans. I think that people are so interested with sports and get excited because it is competitive. People love contest and competitions.

I am a huge football fan, I watch just about every football game. I am a crazy fan, I get very mad when my team makes a bad play. I have seen people over-react at a game. This guy got mad at the tides game and threw a fit on the top of the dug-out. Im not sure why people get so into sports, but I am one of those people. I think sportsmanship is important in both the fans and the players. If the fans do not have good sportsmanship then they throw a fit, and it never ends. If the players do not have good sportsmanship, they get yelled at, and it's over.

Football is definitely one of my favorite things to watch. I'm one of those fans that jumps off the couch when the Cowboys make a good play. I have seen many people over-react at sporting events. I tend to get a little competitive when my team is playing a rival team, especially the Redskins. I think people get excited about sports because they are fun to watch. Sportsmanship is very important were important for players and fans because nobody likes a sore loser or a cocky winner.

I've never seen anyone accually do anything crazy like that at a game. I think people that do things like that are influenced by alcohol or something. Sportsmanship should be followed by both fans and players. People seem to worship their sports and not focus on more important things I suppose because they are passionate about it. They probably played in high school or something.

I'm a fan, not a huge one but I am a fan. I know a couple people who are the "crazy" type and would do something along those lines if not worse. I've seen people strip, cuss, and fight. I think people get so excited about sports because it’s about winning, the "American Way" for most. Sportsmanship for me is important, it's great to win but making sure you’re having fun is something more important to me.

Yes, I am definitely a football fan. I'm not like a psycho fan and I don't know anyone who is. I have seen a parent over-react about a call in softball. He ended up getting kicked out. I think a lot of people get excited about sports because it's a big competition. It's fun to get excited. Sportsmanship is important for both fans and players because talking bad can get out of hand.

Yes I am a football fan GO COLTS. NO, there isn't a crazy fan in my family or friends that i know. They get excited because they feel the excitment and feel pump up. They act like they are in the game or as a coach. I think sportmanship is very important for both because you got to rutt on your team and be positive for them..

Yes, I am a die hard Cowboys fan. Yes sometimes people do over react at sporting events over such things as bad calls. The most extreme thing that I have seen at a porting event is that someone started fighting over a bad call that the referee had made and they were ejected from the game. Some people just get all into the games and some people maybe be just drunk and don’t have a clue what they are doing such as in the video. I believe that that man was drunk. Sportsmanship is very important for the players and the fans.

Yes I am a football player.Basically all my family are crazy fans. We yell throw stuff at the television and curse the players out. I have seen many parents at the WHS football games and basketball games over-react and there children sporting events. I think people get so excited in sports because they feel they can express their feeling throw sports. I think sportsmanship is more important because then people would know that you gave good qualities being apart of a sports team.

I am a football fan. I am also a football player at Windsor High School. I know certain people who enjoy sports that may become a little upset when something does not go right. Last year I saw a member from the school board committee run onto the basketball court and argue with the referee at a home game last year. Most people get rowdy about sports because it is something they enjoy. I believe sportsmanship is more important for players, because sometimes you may get caught up in the moment.

Yes, I am a big football fans. Yes, I no plenty of people who are crazy fans about football starting with my family. No, I haven’t seen anyone over-rate at a sporting event. I think people get over excited because it just a big adrenaline rush at all at once. Sportsmanship is very for players because the old saying says “their no I in team”. -Alia H.

Yes, I am a football fan. My father is a crazy fan of the Cowboys. I have never seen anyone over-react at a sporting event. I think people get excited about sport because everybody wants their team to win. Also because it’s fun to debate and bet on who is going to win a game. I think that sportsmanship is more important for players, because when you are in a game you have to control yourself when you feel that someone is doing something wrong to you.

I am definitely a football fan! It's a real intense sport! I know some crazy moms that come to ever single game and sit in the stands with their 20 different cow bells! I've never really seen anyone do anything outrageous. I think that people get so pumped about sports because after a while it seems like an addiction. I think that sportsmanship is important for both the fans and the players. The fans seem to make more corruption, but I think that is because there isn't anyone watching them, like the refs watch the players.

I'm not a big fan of football but I watch it every now and then. My grandma is a huge Redskins fan, she watches football every Sunday. I don't go to sporting events except my cousins' ball games. I
think people get so excited over sports and seem so disinterested in most everything else because it's very competitive. Sportsmanship is more important for the players than the fans because if the team didn't have sportsmanship, the whole teams could fight.

I'm not a big football fan. I only go to hang with friends. I don't know anyone that's a crazy football fan. I'm definitely not a crazy football fan. No, I have never seen a person over-react to something like that. I think they get so excited, because sports are full of tension. I don't know why they're not interested in anything else, but they just aren't. Sportsmanship is a lot more important in the players, because they have to work together and everything to win the game. They also have to remain positive about the game, too.

I like football, but it's a little confusing for me. Some people are a little crazy but not that crazy. Unfortunately, I've never seen someone go overly crazy at a football game. Sports are entertainment so that's only what people think about. Sportsmanship is very important to everyone, the team and fans. Sometimes teams lose, so everyone should just shrug it off. They definitely shouldn't tackle the referee.

I do enjoy watching some football every now and then. I know that my dad is the craziest football fan ever. Whenever the Redskins are playing all I ever hear is cursing and screaming. My dad over-reacts to EVERY football game. He screams, then he yells cuss words, then he gets a beer and starts all over again. I think the people that focus THAT much on sports has no life, sports are nice and interesting but it shouldn't be the main thing in your life. Sportsmanship is important in both groups, players should respect their fellow teammates and players and fans should just get over it.

I am a football fan but I would never get into a fight over football. My neighbor Paul is a huge Steelers fan and during the season he is constantly getting into arguments about the games they play. I think people get so competitive with football because its such an adrenaline pumping sport people just go crazy about it, plus there is usually alcohol involved with foootball and that will get anybody worked up over anything. I think that sportsmanship is important for both sides because in the end its just a game and people shouldn't form enemies over it.

Yes I am a football fan. Redskins are #1, Woot, Woot!!! No I don't really know any "Crazy Fans". The only time I've seen someone over-react at a sporting event was on this video, and that was very crazy... I think people get so excited about sports because of school pride, or to pump the players up during a game. I don't really know why people are disinterested in everything else... I think sportsmanship is important for fans because most get over-excited. And the other will feel bad if they lose so bad...

Yes, I am a football fan, Redskins baby(: I do know a lot of people who I consider way to into football, and it just is uncalled for. I have seen people carry things too far and put too much into it. One night when I went out to eat there was this guy sitting at the bar of a restaurant not far from my table and he was overreacting over some baseball game. The whole time I was there him and the guy he was with were arguing at like the top of their lungs at each other. The whole time I was trying not to stare at this guy, but he was just being ridiculous and I just couldn't help it.

I admit that I am a little bit of a football fan. I do believe that there are crazy fans, but I also believe that there are just very spirited fans. I really like the Windsor fan that brings a boom box and a cow bell. People get excited about football because they like to see people fight each other. I do believe that sportsmanship is a value to have because with out it sports would not be very fun.-Nick Powell™♦

I am not exactly what you call a football fan, but I do attend football games. My entire family is "crazy" Cowboy fans. There are people who over react at sporting events all the time, but never like this man! I think people love sports because of all the excitement, and plus it is a man thing. I think sportsmanship is more important for fans, because most fans are family and/or friends. If your fans encourage you to have sportsmanship and because they are, important it is going to affect the way the think and feel.

I am a football fan. I like three different teams(Steelers, Redskins and Eagles). So yes I am really into football. I am not a "crazy fan" and I do not know any. No, I have not seen anyone over-react at a football game. I think people get excited in sports because sometimes it is funny and the people watching do not really have to do anything. So basically they are having fun without doing anything. I think sportsmanship is important to the players but more important to the fans. In Philadephia fans will bust the windows out the other fans cars if they say something negative about the Eagles. I absolutely LOVE football but it is not that serious to do all that. It is okay to argue about which teams are better but it is a limit on how far you should go.

I’m not really a football fan; I’m more of a fan of the football players (lol). I do have crazy fan family members. I have seen people over react call that they didn’t agree with. I think people get so excited over sports, because they are usually competitive. Another reason I think they get so excited is because when people watch sports they’re usually around their family so they let loose and act crazy. I think sportsman ship is needed in both the athlete and the fans. I think its important for the athletes because they have to win the games, but also for the fans because they have to encourage the athletes.

Yes, I'm a football fan. My favorite football team is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. No, I'm not a crazy fan or not seen anyone over-react at a sporting event. I don't know why people get so excited about sports, yet seem so disinterested in most everything else. I think sportsmanship is more for players or fans because it show respect to other people.

Yes I am a Football fan. Im not sure if anyone I know is a crazy fan besides me (lol). When I watch the Super Bowl and the Steelers are playing I will go crazy but in a good way. Sports are just a major thing in some peoples life and there fun because you get to be competitive! Sportsmanship is important for both players and fans because without players there would be no team and without fans there would be no support for the team.-Cadeja Wilson

Yes I'm a total football fan! I like get pumped when i see games or whatever, but I'm not crazy like that guy. I have never in my life seen like a crazed fan except fr just then. I have no clue. Because most people like get all crazy and mad at stuff like that, but they really don't care about politics and stuff like that. I think sportsmanship is very important because you don't want stuff like that happening.

No I am not a football fan. Most of my family is crazy fans for football and every other sport. I have never seen anyone over react at a sporting event. That is because most of them never been that stupid. Honestly, I couldn't tell you why people get so excited about sports, but they are disinterested in almost everything else because it's boring. Sportsmanship is more important for players but it can be just to say it’s important for the fans too. James St. Peter

I have no clue why people get so excited about sports, I guess it's like the thrill or something. I think sportsmanship is very important because you wouldn't want someone you know doing something like this.
