Don't know which is worse - the vuvuzela or the Braves war moan. |
|
If I lived in Atlanta, there's no way I could be a Braves fan. Making that awful noise for the team that you LIKE?

8. They copied the whole "Tomahawk Chop" and war moan thing from Florida State |
|
during Seminole Deion Sanders' brief stint as a two-sport guy with the Braves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_ChantPeople at schools and colleges adopt a similar tradition, such as the Florida State Seminoles, specifically its athletic teams.
Florida State Seminoles fans began the tradition of continuing a band melody known as "Massacre" after the band had stopped playing during a home football game versus Auburn University on October 13, 1984. The fans also started a gesture involving a repetitious bend of the arm at the elbow (initially following an FSU first down), playing on the referee's signal for a first down while also eventually being understood as symbolizing a tomahawk swinging down. The gesture was embraced by fans as an integral part of the War Chant, and by the 1986 football season the war chant was one of the most widely recognized Seminole traditions.
The tradition followed Atlanta Braves baseball player, and former Florida State football and baseball player, Deion Sanders to Atlanta where it was adopted and renamed the "tomahawk chop." Next, the NFL football team, the Kansas City Chiefs adopted it after hearing the Northwest Missouri State marching band perform the war chant while the Chiefs players were warming up for a game against the San Diego Chargers. The music would later be used by local grocery chain Price Chopper as part of its "Chiefs 'n' Chopper" ad campaign, and fans would also chant the slogan during the song. In recent years, the Braves have played a clip of the Florida State Marching Chiefs' playing the chant song during games.

11. Florida State got express permission from the Seminole Nation |
|
The Atlanta Braves did not. That's the major difference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeminoleScroll down to "Florida State University Connection."

And I'm a Phillies fan. I like large crowds singing or chanting, it's cool. It's the only thing good about soccer games. The vuvuzela, on the other hand, is horrid.

12. I love the vuvezela, although it always makes me think of a Charlie Douglas routine |

About a mule with gas. If anyone wants to listen to a long country comedy routine... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2_YymDcVDg
