Bad sportsmanship

My wife and I drove from Peoria, Ill., to Bloomington on Wednesday, Nov. 28 to see the IU soccer match with Bradley University. As we now know, Bradley won that match on penalty kicks. What your reporters may not have witnessed – or, if so, not reported – was the loutish behavior of the IU fans. Following the game, many of the students jeered the Bradley players, giving them the finger and a large dose of profanity – great examples for the young fans at the game. One IU fan decided that it would be cute to throw a cup of soft drink over the Bradley section. About 50 to 60 Bradley fans came away with spots all over their coats, hats, etc. I guess this is the Hoosier hospitality and IU sportsmanship that we should expect when visiting Bloomington.
