This is what I emailed to him:

"Where I come from, it's called home field advantage, it's called the 12th man.

There's nothing bush league about getting riled up to cheer for your favorite team. Things start getting hairy with batteries start getting chucked from the stands (Thanks Eagles). Since when did football become a gentleman's game? I feel that as every year goes by, more and more REAL football is being taken out of the sport. If we wanted to see people quiet during plays and lightly clapping for a good shot or play, we'd go see golf or tennis.

But we come to see FOOTBALL, where the fans are loud and the fans cheer for their favorite team with all they have. If that makes you bush league, consider every fan from every city guilty as charged.

Sincerely,
Ben"
