Summary p.69-74

・Since saying bad words have become common, fans are getting personal
・Incivility at sports events is inevitable.
・Still, some administrators are trying to promote more tasteful cheering even if it is now a delicate era when students believe they have a right to say what they please while supporting the home team.
・Not only lecture or warnings from administrators but students themselves need efforts to clean up bad words.
・On the other hand, it is also a fact that administrators welcome most of the noise they make asking for making their home hostile environment.
・Coaches talking to the students at the beginning of the season, broadcasting reminders about sportsmanship from coaches or players just before games starts may help avoiding bad words.
・Communication between students and administrators is a key to improve fan behavior.

Summary

Accorfing to the author, prohibiting incivility completely at sports events is not easy task because it closely relates with people's rights to speech that they can please and express what they think. However, incivity can be restricted by a lot of efforts and regular discussions such as remindering and enphasizing sportsmanship before starting games, not controlling how fans should behave rather than how decent cheers should be done.
