They often lack the ability to focus on one thing for extended periods of time and are easily distracted by any disruption.  One of the explanations for the decreasing attention span of people is a technology and social media specifically.

LTTE: CSU basketball fans shouting 'Russia' need education, respect

LTTE: CSU basketball fans shouting ‘Russia’ need education, respect

Guest Author February 15, 2023

The chant was directed at Max Shulga, a Utah State player from Kyiv, Ukraine.  It has been suggested that the chant arose from ignorance. That if the students only knew of the atrocities Russia is inflicting on the Ukrainian people during its year-long unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, they would have not used this uncivil chant as a tool to try to win a basketball game.
