Lack of Leadership

Lack of Leadership

Don’t you think it’s the senior’s job to lead the student section at football games? I’d like to inform you all that I counted a total of six seniors by the beginning of the fourth quarter at our last game. I give major props to the six that stayed, and they should be applauded. But to me six seniors is just simply unacceptable.

As I ask some of the seniors why they are leaving they simply reply with a “We are already loosing so bad, why would we stay?” Want to know what I have to say to those inconsiderate seniors or fans in general; they are probably loosing because they don’t have the support from the school. As an athlete, I know that it is really important to have your fans back you up no matter the circumstances. So for the people out there who leave the games early, think about how you are letting the team who is playing down. How would you like it if someone walked out on you?

Our seniors this year really don’t have the best leadership. For the majority of games it is us, the juniors, who are leading cheers and getting everyone organized. The seniors are just there to look cool in the front row. But news flash you look stupid just sitting there not cheering on your team or repeating the same old cheers every two second. I mean why come to the game if you’re not going to cheer, I don’t get it. Although these seniors may think they are doing a fantastic job, I beg to differ. They need to take the time to check themselves; they aren’t as awesome as they think they are. Stop turning around to yell at us to cheer. First off nobody will do something if they are being yelled at to do it. And second, we are already leading the student section for you… you’re welcome.

Our student section has extreme potential to help our team while they are in this 0 and 5 slum. But these seniors really need to step up their game.  We need the football team to regain confidence, and what’s a better confidence builder than most of the student body on your side. You tell me would you rather have people leaving your games or have them stay to the end through anything with an insane amount of spirit possible?
