100% Legitimate Monday "WTF" Gripe.

[wabash909]

Ok folks, I have had a few days to stew over this, and I have tried to be very objective about it. But for the last 3 home games I attended (qualify, I missed UT because I was out of town on business) I have witnessed a very uncool event.

I am convinced something must be done about it. This is specifically referencing the "Cookies for Cats" handouts by the cheerleaders. 3 consecutive games in a row where I have had a big "WTF!" moment as I watch.... what I can only describe as child hating, no babysitting experience while in high school, poor decision making teen age cheer nazi's.... as they hand out cookies.

K State's official policy when it comes to "cookies for cats" handouts should be simple:

1)  Give the cookies to kids under the age of 12

2)  If there are no kids under 12 available, don't give any cookies away.

I have watched this happen 3 games in a row, cheer leader brings cookies to my section... there is a hoard of children(10-12 of them) between 4-10 years old waiting anxiously for the cookies at the bottom of the stairs in my section... cheer nazi gives 2-3 of the kids at the bottom a cookie... then starts walking up the section to hand out cookies to a bunch of adult (not students, most are old enough to know better) fans, waving their arms like idiots trying to draw attention to get a cookie. Leaving anywhere from 6-10 kids without a cookie. 3 games in a row I have had to watch young cat fans have their hearts broken by a cheer leader... and then fight back the tears as they walk back to their seats without a cookie. All the while watching a bunch of 40 years olds gobble up a delicious cookie right in front of them... might as well be flipping the kid off and tell him to "suck it!".

So I ask you: WTF! Especially those of you adults who are literally willing to take a cookie away from a child. "Stealing candy from a baby" doesn't bother you apparently. How can you sit there and eat a cookie when a little 5 year old cat fan is walking up the stairs with tears in his eyes? Do you have no heart? The lady behind my seats got one Saturday, I literally wanted to turn around, take her cookie, and hand it to the little kid crying in the aisle right next to us... warning all adults now... next time this happens, I am going to take your cookie and give it to the crying child if you don't step up and do it yourself.

But the really big WTF! Why on earth does KState support letting our cheerleaders make kids cry. This is a family environment... we want the little cat fans happy. Don't traumatize the little cat fans by denying them their god given right as a child to a free cookie.

Either give the cookies to the kids... or quit giving cookies out period.

Tucks gonna tuck (cookies into their fat mouths while adorable kids go without).

i took my six yr old to a game and almost didn't let him run down because i didn't want him taking cookies away from other kids. i can't even imagine the adult that would take them.

As I stated, let this be a warning to all adults now... The next time this happens, I am going to take your cookie and give it to the crying child.

Does this apply to T-Shirt toss?  Because it drives me nuts when people go bonkers for shirts and sit on their hands after watching exceptional play.

I think those shirts are too big for kids, anyway.

These people sound like monsters, cookie monsters that is

Yeah that's pretty low. Cheerleaders should know better, I wonder if they're instructed to not just give the cookies to little kids, but even still, yucky behavior that is not worthy of Kansas State University.

Related question: If there's a foul ball at a baseball game (I've never caught one at a MLB game) and I get it and there's a little kid in an adjoining row, I'm not obligated to give him the ball right?

No, and nor should you. That little kid can get off his ass and catch his own foul ball if he wants one.

This isn't about balls, CatierFor3.  This is about cookies.

Whew, because I plan on keeping all foul balls, yet distributing all cookies and cookie related objects I get for free at sporting events to children.

This isn't about balls, CatierFor3.  This is about cookies.

Sorry man. I remember when all those dorks turned my EMAW KC thread into a BBQ argument and I did not like it. Now I go and do the same thing. I'm better than this.

It's like those cheerleaders don't even realize that Frank is gone.

Philosophical question:  Do you want the little cat fans happy?  There is an argument to be made that we want the little cat fans angry and disgusted.

[Bqqkie Pimp]

We all agree. It's mumped up.

Now, do the right thing and cut/paste the meat of your email & fire it off to Currie and the cheer leading coach or GTFOH.

Make us proud by saving the tears of the little emaws.

Next game I'm dressing up as the count and I will eff those old people up one by one.

[Cartierfor3]

I bet these cookie hogs are the same people who took the "Who's He" sign.
