I'm sorry, but I no longer support this crap. There are exceptions (not every jock is an idiot and you can like football and still disagree with the jock mentality yet you're still supporting it), but whatever.
I hated pep rallies in high school. In my high school, they cut each class short by like 5 minutes the day of a pep rally so the last hour of the schoolday was devoted to cheering football players who I didnt even know. Did I care if my high school football team won or lost? No. Was I allowed to go home instead of attending the pep rally? No. American rituals, go figure
