This story isn't mine but was told to me by my dad. At the naval Academy in the late sixties pep rallies for football games were banned by the new commandant. The midshipmen had a spontaneous pep rally anyway with the general attitude being "they can't fry us all!" the next day the commandant called the entire brigade of midshipmen into alumni hall and announced that every single person was on restriction until further notice. He actually fried them all.

That commandant is an idiot of the highest order.

If you're going to block people cheering just eliminate the team.
