southsider2k5 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2016/01/11...d-chants-banned In an email sent out to students in December, which was obtained by the Post-Crescent, the WIAA banned “chants by student sections directed at opponents and/or opponents’ supporters that are clearly intended to disrespect.” ADVERTISING The following words were reportedly included as examples: • “Fundamentals” • “Sieve” • “We can’t hear you” • “Air ball” • “You can’t do that” • “There’s a net there” • “Scoreboard” • “Season’s over” (during tournament play) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 The best part of this is Jay Bilas is just killing it https://twitter.com/JayBilas WIAA acceptable chant to officials: "Dear Sirs: We beg to differ, but thank you for your service to our game." WIAA acceptable chant on FT attempt: "We cannot in good conscience pretend we want you to make this, but wish you good luck, nonetheless." WIAA acceptable chant: "We hope for a positive outcome while fully realizing that the result is not a negative reflection upon our guest." WIAA acceptable chant: "We note your attempt did not reach the rim, but only to alert the clock operator that a reset is unnecessary."

StrangeSox Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 “Sieve”" This was actually used as a sports chant in a high school game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 yeah it definitely makes sense, it just seemed like a really odd thing to chant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The funny thing is I actually think there is room for this (went to a Missouri basketball game and a student group "the antlers" was chanting really ridiculous stuff that 19 year old dudes would think is funny but it is a family event), but they chose the things I would put in the "YOU CAN STILL SAY THIS" stuff. But lots of vulgarity in kids these days, I tell ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Funniest thing I've ever heard a student section do. This was at MSU hockey games: Students (at approx. 1:05 left in a period): Hey, Jerry, how much time? PA Announcer (presumably named Jerry): One minute, one minute remaining in the period Students: Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it once but when it happened a few people clapped for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illinois club hockey fans do that, and once a season, the announcer actually says "You're welcome!"

That sounds more awful than what's done at Bears game PA: "There's a timeout" Fans: "Where" PA: "On the field" Fans: "OHHHHH" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 This reminds me of a line from a King of the Hill episode. "That motion is denied, Mr. Hill. ... Now on to more important matters: My motion to add "fatty fatty boom-balatty" to the list of unacceptable hate speech." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 What about the whole "Push it" chant to make it sound like bulls*** when the refs suck? They really banned some stupid chants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I wish they banned that god-awful DE-DE-DE-DEFENSE chant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
