It is a fucking disgrace. Same here. On the other hand if they ban them and the South Africans get mad and perhaps even violent then people can talk about the violent World Cup in Africa.Don't Panic wrote:Super Africa wrote:FIFAWhat's ridiculous is that if they ban the vuvuzela because a few people find it annoying then the resentment that will cause is likely to provoke violence. I'd rather have a distracting buzzing sound than people beating the shit out of each other in the street. Of course, European materialist scum think they should be able to float through life banning everything they take a momentary dislike to. And think we have the right to tell others what they can and cannot do. Indeed, fuck FIFA. I hope they ban it, and everyone just ignores the ban.
First of all im not South African allthough im from Africa. It is not a question of whether or not you dislike this but whether or not FIFA has the right to ban them. Remember this is South Africa's World Cup and just because people don't like the way they celebrate doesn't mean it should be banned. This is a bullshit fascist attitude to dictate what others can do. Also this stuff about it ruining the World CupJuligen wrote:Serious, why cant you understand that you dammed vuvuzela is ruining this WC for lots of people and even the players are complaining. Let me put for you, you are just hosting the damn thing, you dont own the World Cup. Yesterday I had to put the games on mute, this KILLS the fun of watching the WC. I waited FOUR FUCKING YEARS for this competition, and your fans are ruining for me. I almost wish this crap had never gone to Africa. That’s how much I hate your damn vuvuzela.Super Africa wrote:FIFAWorld Cup organiser considers vuvuzela ban after TV complaints Fifa says it will take action if it finds grounds to do so Their cacophonous din has so far been a soundtrack for the World Cup, to the delight of some and the profound annoyance of others. But organisers said that the vuvuzela, one of the most visible and certainly most audible motifs of the tournament's opening weekend, could yet be banned from inside stadiums. Organising committee chief executive Danny Jordaan said he would continue to monitor their use and that a ban could be enforced if there were "grounds to do so". Fifa and organisers have already said that they will ban the instrument if any are thrown onto the pitch or used as a weapon and urged fans not to blow them during national anthems. "We did say that if any land on the pitch in anger we will take action. We've tried to get some order. We have asked for no vuvuzelas during national anthems or stadium announcements. It's difficult but we're trying to manage the best we can," he told the BBC. "We've had some broadcasters and individuals [complaining] and it's something we are evaluating on an on-going basis." The BBC and ITV have received complaints from viewers about the background noise and, while both have said they will monitor the situation, they have also made the point that it is important to reflect the atmosphere of the tournament. Fifa has previously shrugged off complaints from broadcasters, players and coaches about the noise from the plastic horns that are being sold on every street corner in South African host cities. Following last year's Confederations Cup, there were complaints from coaches, players and broadcasters about the noise. But Fifa said that the horns formed part of the unique African atmosphere of the tournament and refused to ban them. But Jordaan himself, who battled for 16 years to bring the World Cup to South Africa, said he would prefer the 10 stadiums hosting the World Cup to ring to the sound of singing and dancing than the drone of the vuvuzela. "I would prefer singing. It's always been a great generator of a wonderful atmosphere in stadiums and I would try to encourage them to sing," he said. "In the days of the struggle (against apartheid) we were singing, all through our history it's our ability to sing that inspired and drove the emotions."
When people start turning matches of I might give a little of a fuck. Nothing against you Julia because you are nice poster but I couldn't care less if people do turn off. So far I have no problem with it allthough I admit that initally it was annoying but I have gotten used to it.Saw this comment:
Vuvuzela Not a product of a large corporation Not a product sponsored by "Big Moeny" Vuvuzela the cheapest affordable form of fan freedom next to a football made of descaded plastic parts.
