Phones at Basketball Games

Dear Editor,

I believe students should limit their cellphone use at the basketball games. I think this because when I look around, many of the high school and middle school students are not paying attention to the game. They are on their phones playing a game, SnapChatting or texting each other when they are only ten feet away. It is embarrassing and outrageous that they can be so oblivious to their surroundings. In fact, some would miss playing in the band if Mr. Green did not go get them. If constant use of their phones is so important then they should reconsider why they are even going to the basketball games. I’m not saying they should not have their phones at basketball games; I‘m saying they should not be constantly on them and instead they should be paying attention to the games and supporting their classmates. That is where I stand on this particular situation.
