You know you’re American when you call football ,soccer & make comments like this : Vuvuzela drone killing World Cup atmosphere?
Whaaat? With all the World Cup excitement & historical moments occurring right before the eyes of the world this was the topic most important to Associated Press writer, John Leicester. Who is this pompous, arrogant, borderline racist, ignorant fool to say :
“Vuvuzela apologists – a few more weeks of this brainless white noise will perhaps change, or melt, their minds – defend the din as simply part of the South African experience. Each country to its own, they say. When in Rome, blah, blah, blah. Which would be fine if this was purely a South African competition. Fans could then legitimately hoot away to their hearts’ content while annoying no one other than their immediate neighbors.”
Sounds like someone who knows little about what goes on during football matches all over the world except the USA & probably has not experienced many first hand. No one is sitting in silence where you can hear every oooh & ahhh ! Any real & true football fan knows that every real & true football match should & does consist of 90 minutes of loud earth shaking, singing, horn blowing, drumming, etc. so get used to it or go back to watching cycling, golf & baseball because this football thing- the one that is actually played with the foot, is way too much for you to handle! I can’t help but to SMH & LMFAO when Leicester has the nerve to quote Lance Armstrong.
In Tweeting “No offense to the vuvuzela posse but, man, it’s a bit much,” seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong was not alone.
As if anyone cares about Lance Armstrong’s opinion about Football. Oh please leave the commentary & sports to the real men with two testicles playing a sport that the whole world really cares about & ride your ass on back to Texas if the sound of elated energized fans is too much for your pretty little ears to take. Yes, I am so wrong for saying that, but in this case the jab is much deserved because Americans need to really start listening to their words & opinions when it comes to insulting the practices, actions, celebrations & rituals of the world because your opinion doesn’t matter & no one is asking you to partake so exercise your American freedom & don’t be a part of it! The coverage & commentary for the World Cup by the US media has been so boring, lacking the type of energy that football is known for & just plain ignorant in some of the commentary that whether or not you speak Spanish if you are watching the World Cup in the USA you are better off to watch it on Spanish cable channels like Univision in order for you to truly get the full football experience that comes with excitement & energy from knowledgeable commentators who understand that football is a universal language & the vuvuzelas are part of that language! In Africa & the rest of the World outside of the USA, football is more than just a game so recognize!
The article below gets a super #fail- But read it so you can judge for yourself & Twitter John Leicester & Lance Armstrong to let them know how real football fans feel about their opinions.
“The constant drone of cheap and tuneless plastic horns is killing the atmosphere at the World Cup. Where are the loud choruses of “Oooohhsss” from enthralled crowds when a shot scorches just wide of the goalpost? And the sharp communal intake of breath, the shrill “Aaahhhhss,” when a goalkeeper makes an acrobatic, match-winning save? Or the humorous/moving/offensive football chants and songs? Mostly, they’re being drowned out by the unrelenting water-torture beehive hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm of South African vuvuzela trumpets. Damn them. They are stripping World Cup 2010 of football’s aural artistry…Read More Here.
