January 12, 201610 yr 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)
January 12, 201610 yr Author 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."
January 12, 201610 yr QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 02:08 PM) “Sieve”" This was actually used as a sports chant in a high school game? Yeah, I don't get that one.
January 12, 201610 yr FACTUAL STATEMENT: YOUR SHOT HAS MISSED THE BASKET, INCREASING THE ODDS OF YOUR TEAM LOSING THIS SPORTING CONTEST!
January 12, 201610 yr “Sieve”" This was actually used as a sports chant in a high school game? Sieve, as in your goalie is one.
January 12, 201610 yr yeah it definitely makes sense, it just seemed like a really odd thing to chant.

January 12, 201610 yr 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.
January 12, 201610 yr 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.

I've heard it once but when it happened a few people clapped for it.

Illinois club hockey fans do that, and once a season, the announcer actually says "You're welcome!" I remember looking for the clock to reach 1:03 Edited January 13, 201610 yr by AustinIllini

That sounds more awful than what's done at Bears game PA: "There's a timeout" Fans: "Where" PA: "On the field" Fans: "OHHHHH"
January 13, 201610 yr 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."
January 13, 201610 yr What about the whole "Push it" chant to make it sound like bulls*** when the refs suck? They really banned some stupid chants
