n Another day, another twist of the clamp on school spirit (“New arena policy bans obscenity,” Sept. 11. p. 1). This has to stop. There are two points of pride at Boston University — the BU Pub and BU hockey games. That’s it. So why does the administration continue to hinder the efforts of its few hardcore, spirited students? It blows my mind.
Hockey is a rowdy sport with rowdy fans. Keep in mind, alcohol is sold at the arena. I would guess a beer or two may cause an obscenity or two. Perhaps the alcohol is the root of the problem.
Also keep in mind, there is fighting in hockey. That doesn’t exactly set a good example for the youngsters in the stands either.
I do challenge the ushers and security guards to throw out the hundreds of students who will continue the infamous “BC sucks” chant. It will look great on TV when there is a sea of empty red seats behind the net. I am furious. I have been a season ticket holder since the 2000-01 Season, and today I’ve decided not to renew.
