10. Every time I go, they ask me for money.

9. The people I sat by didn't seem very friendly.

8. The seats were too hard and not comfortable at all.

7. The coach never came to call on me.

5. Some games went into overtime, and I was late getting home.

4. The band played some songs I had never heard before.

3. The games are scheduled when I want to do other things.

2. My parents took me to too many games when I

was growing up.

1. I don't want to take my children, because I want

them to choose for themselves what sport they

like best.
