CLC sports have talent, lack fan support

When you think of college sports football and basketball are most frequently mentioned because they are popular sports for tournaments and playoffs. Fans can engage themselves in the sport. Four year schools, like Northwestern and University of Illinois
At CLC, where there is plenty of talent among all teams, there is very little support from the average student.
To an extent, this makes sense. CLC is a community college where students usually go to move on to a four year school. Students here have jobs and other non-school activities that affect their schedules, making it difficult to spend extra time at school for sports.
However, there are students who have the time, but do not want, or don’t know, about sports at CLC. If students are bored, they should check out what sporting events are happening. It is also the duty of the athletic department to get more students interested in watching games. Coaches and players should encourage students to find out about CLC’s teams.
“The only reason I don’t go to games is because they don’t advertise,” freshman Nick Hefner said. “I never know who’s playing when or where.”
There is a lot of talent and many reasons to watch sports at CLC. The question is why more people don’t watch. There is no clear cut way to get more people involved. If students are busy, they’re not going to watch. Teams could advertise game times and tournaments, or they could simply mention it to their friends and classmates. Any attention given to the teams will be welcome.
Baseball is America
Women’s softball still has games left, and they aren’t doing badly either. They have 15 wins and 15 losses this season. They have several high ranked players, especially pitchers, among the nation.
CLC has talent, they just need others to recognize it.
