Lack of fan sportsmanship reflects poorly on UNC

TO THE EDITOR:

I am also often embarrassed by UNC fans' poor sportsmanship"" and I was even more ashamed of the disrespectful responses to Capt. Bob Dilks' Tuesday letter (""Sportsmanship is lacking at UNC basketball games"").

The ""Let's Go Tar Heels"" cheer during opposing team's introductions is not school spirit — it's designed to insult the other team.

I love our energy during games" but automatically cheering against members of the other team simply because they are on the other team is rude and unacceptable.

When visiting players have such experiences at UNC it reflects poorly on our school.

I know I'm not the only respectful Carolina fan out there and I hope those who responded to Capt. Dilks' letter and some poor sports fans aren't seen as representative of the student body.
