I'm at a loss for words......I can't yell "atta boy" when a basketball, baseball, football or soccer player of Color

does something great. What can I yell???

1. How about NICE!

Or... Awesome play!
Personally I never liked being called boy once I reached my teens. I found it derogatory and condescending. I'd imagine other young men, men and older men feel the same. Does that seem reasonable? Hope it does. And thanks for considering my perspective.

2. Because I refuse to abandon my belief that they can hear you if you yell at the TV...

I often find myself yelling “Well done!” or “Thank you!” If it’s my team, I know most of their names, so it’s “Thank you, Sean!” Since I am a lady of a certain age, I figure I can get away with an occasional “Nicely done, darling”, or “You don’t want another foul, honey”.
What I yell at officials and announcers shall remain private.
