ICESREAM IS MEAN

Michael from Trentham

So everytime a player from one side lined up for free throws in an important NBA game in the USA, a young girl would scream so loud that the entire stadium housing thousands of spectators let alone the players on the court, could hear her.
The team missed 18 free throws and the opposition side narrowly won the game.
It turned out the screamer was the daughter of the star player from the winning side and he was so proud of his off-spring.

Now in rugby, the Irish are all hushed up when the opposition take a shot at goal. That could be upwards of 60,000 spectators at a rugby international. And if a spectator started to boo he/ she would quickly be admonished.
So is it sporting for a yeller to keep putting off free throw shooters in a big basketball game and be praised for it.
Well maybe in the era of Trump in the USA nothing like lying and cheating matters.
