A City Short on Athletic Intelligence

I have stuggled for a long time to not go out of my mind listening to some of the idiotic fans living in Iowa City. 95% of the campus has attended at least one game during their tenure, yet most of those people don't know that the signal for false start can also mean illegal procedure. I am conviced that this unitelligence leads to a shortage of quality basketball fans for the University. I'm not sure if these people never watched games with their fathers as children to have him explain the subtle nuances of the game, or if they decided to show up one day to the arena and see what was going on, but for the love of god, if you don't know what is going on, shut the hell up. Basketball is FAR more complex than football, which sadly is why there are less fans at the game, some people find it too hard to follow. For all you out there that THINK you know how the game is played, and you find yourself booing at the official simply because the guy next to you is, shut up. All this saddens me, because basketball is a far more exciting and thrilling game to watch and be a part of as a fan, and there is no more electrifying environment than a packed fieldhouse or arena full of screaming fans. All I'm asking is that if you are going to scream, know what your talking about first.
