I had MSU student football tickets a couple years ago. Since then, I have received one or two short e-mails from the athletics office before every football game. Most of the e-mails are attempts to convince me to buy more tickets. I keep telling myself that I should unsubscribe, but I haven't bothered yet.
Today, I got this:
SPARTAN FANS RAISE YOUR SHIELD
Spartan Sportsmanship embodies the DIGNITY and respect that comes with being a Spartan.
- 81% of MSU Fans in the stands attend games without being intoxicated
- 82% of MSU Fans in the stands dispose of the trash they brought into parking or tailgate areas
- 97% of MSU Fans in the stands think it is acceptable for coaches and players to shake hands with their opponents after the game.
That's right: nearly one in five MSU fans comes to games hammered and/or leaves crap lying around. Plus, there are about a couple thousand people at every game who consider it unacceptable for opposing teams to shake hands with each other.
I'm glad the MSU athletics office is here to remind me from what a classy institution I received both of my degrees.
Unsubscribering...
