An Important Lesson for Soccer Moms, Football Dads etc

A few weeks ago, when my son's American Tackle Football team, the Jerusalem "Big Blue" Lions, had their first game in the Mishor Adumim field, I noticed a very interesting sign:

PARENTS- PLEASE BEHAVE AS OBSERVERS

1. Cheer in a positive way.
2. Honor the opposing players.
3. Stay in the stands.
4. Make it possible for us to learn the game.
5. Make it possible for the coach to coach.
6. Be positive role models.
7. Value a good/fair game between two teams.

We play for enjoyment, because we love the game.

I promised myself that I'd blog about it, because I think it's important to remember.
