- Every time I went they asked me for money.
- The people with whom I had to sit didn’t seem very friendly.
- The seats were very hard.
- The coach never came to call on me.
- The referee made a decision with which I could not agree.
- I was sitting with some hypocrites- they came only to see what others were wearing.
- Some games went into overtime and I was late getting home.
- The band played some songs I had never heard before.
- The games are scheduled when I want to do other things.
- My parents took me to too many games when I was growing up.

- I don’t want to take my children because I want them to choose for themselves what sports they like best.
