Walk On
No one's ever asked me to sit down, either. And I prefer to stand. I stand as much as the circumstances will allow me. In big games, like Michigan, I stand most of the game. When the rows in front of me start to stand up, so do I. And then the people behind me have to stand up. It's part of the game, and it should be expected.
But just to declare that you don't give a fuck about whether anyone else sees the game or not is self-centered and rude. There has to be a balance between your rights, and respect for other people's rights. To achieve that at Ohio Stadium, you have to kind of go with the flow.
I do not like people who arrive late, leave early, and are inconvenienced by the rowdy crowd. They shouldn't come if they can't take it. On the other hand, I appreciate old people, like my 79 year-old mom, who still loves to go to the games, and yells as hard as she is able. She stands plenty, and she understands that people in front of her are going to stand up a lot. That's OK, but it would not be OK for someone to stand in front of my mom the entire game and not care whether she could see or not. That would be rude and unacceptable.
