Except the only problem with this is that, it's a FOOTBALL GAME! We are NOT attending the opera nor the local movie theatre. The folks who stand are paying good money to attend the FOOTBALL game and should be allowed to stand on their heads if that's how they choose to watch the game. This same rationale goes for concerts and many other similar GROUP experienced, socialized activities. If you are attending any sort of entertainment activity, which has a fan-base, and thus you identify and attend as one, then enjoy the experience in whatever manner makes you comfortable. People cheer for all sorts of reasons. Being allowed to stand, cheer, and be excited only during selective plays, of which ARE DEEMED APPROPRIATE NOT BY THE FAN HIMSELF, restricts people from self-expression; dictating their actions and thus, stripping away one's God given right to decide for themselves what qualifies as entertainment, in order to elicit a standing, cheering response.
