Is This Any Way To Treat Our Guests?

I was saddened to read in the CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER under Monday Moaning about a couple from Detroit who came to Cleveland to watch a Tiger/Indians ballgame. They told how awful their experience was because of rude people around them who not only teased them because they were Tiger fans but even threw food at them. They said even the ushers were rude to them. They mentioned that they spent a lot of money in Cleveland and didn’t expect that kind of treatment. This is the type of thing that gives Cleveland a bad name not to mention it's no way to treat people.

I'm sure if company came to visit the Clevelanders at their home, they would not treat them like that.  When out-of-towners and visiting teams come to the ballpark, we should treat them as our guests.  

I love this poem by John Wesley which was included in the book I read recently, Season of Life--A Football Star, a Boy, a Journey to Manhood by Jeffrey Marx:

Do all the good you can,

By all the means you can,

In all the ways you can,

In all the places you can,

At all the times you can,

To all the people you can,

As long as ever you can.
