Fan gossiping at Virginia game should stay home

TO THE EDITOR:

""If you wanted to sit down"" you could have watched the game from your couch"" was the reply I received after asking a girl in front of me at the Virginia game this Saturday to please sit down.

I agree" and applaud her efforts to cheer on our Heels.

However she too could have sat on her couch while discussing who hooked up with whom at the fraternity party last night instead of leaning over to discuss this issue with her friend.

Doing so blocked about 10 other people's views of the game while she didn't even pay attention to the game herself.

Not cheering whenever everybody else celebrated a Wayne Ellington 3-pointer that she did not witness does not count as attentiveness.

I realize that standing up at sporting events is a somewhat heated debate among sports fans.

But clearly this is a case of indisputable shenanigans.

Like totally.
