To Boise State basketball fans, I am writing this letter to ask that you rethink leaving games early. A true fan will stay to the end, whether we are winning by 20 points or losing by 20.
These players are young men and women who need the support of the community. I’m sure they are already feeling bad enough when they are behind, and then to see the rush of “fans” exiting would be heartbreaking. Trust me, they are not losing on purpose.
What do you gain, maybe a 10-minute head start on traffic? It’s embarrassing to be on national TV and have half the crowd walk out.
