The Importance of TheSupporters' Existance

I have just watched The Indonesian Uber Cup (one of the world badminton competition) team played against China in the final. Well, based on the quality, the China players were much better than the Indonesian. But overall, I satisfy with the Indonesian team. The Indonesian players have shown great efforts in the final, even their stamina were not so good. Well done, Indonesia.

Although the Indonesian team was not predicted to be one of the finalists, the players could play at their best. I think one of the factors which can make a person/a team play well is the supporters. Indonesian supporters (who were Indonesian too) are one of the greatest supporters in the world (excluding football supporters of course). The Indonesian supporters always give their support to the team, develop the team's spirit, and encourage the team to win the game in positive ways. They make insidental banners, worn ribbons that were tied on their hands/heads, create creative taglines to be screamed in the middle of the game. I really like it. Those make the team's spirit go up so that they give everything to win the game.

I have just realized the importance of the supporters' existence in any kind of games. If there are supporters for a person/a team in a game, the person's/team's spirit can be developed. The player(s) will give their best effort to win the game with/without thinking about the result. Without the supporters' existence, the team may not have more spirit to win the game. The player(s)'s mentality can be going down.

I just talked to my friend who is the baskeball girl team's captain in our major in the university. She had to get through this day so bad. Actually perhaps it was because what she had been through the day before. Today she had to lead the team in semifinal phase against HMTL (environment engineering student organization). In that game, the MTI supporters didn't give all their effort to encourage the team. As the team captain, my friend didn't like it so much. She was angry and upset about why the supporters didn't act as what was expected. She couldn't accept it because she thought it would make the team enthusiastic. The team might not play well today. But thank God, fortunately the team could win the game.

So, you can see from the two examples above that the supporters existence in any kind of games is really important for a player(s). But to encourage the player(s), the supporters must not do the bad things, like do things that are related to racism, throw any kind of things to the opponent(s), insult the opponent(s), etc. If the supporters do the bad things, it will bring a disaster(s) for theirselves and for the player(s) too.
