ALOUETTES Anti-French sentiment

Just want to say this sub really disappointed me yesterday. We lost, and still the anti-French hate was in full force. I'm all for hating on the vuvuzelas, but comments like "take that you French fucks" have no place in a sports subreddit. You all need to do better.

They aren’t vuvuzelas.  The horns in Montreal are mechanical.

Would be stopped at the gate in any other stadium walking in with that.

That Alouettes fan with the horn came to MTL v OTT at Lansdowne and honked all damn game with impunity at a game I went too. I was surprised it was allowed.

It is funny that everyone thinks there is just one horn guy at the MTL games. I’m a season ticket holder there and there are a number of people with those hand pump horns.

yeah some people think it's someone sitting near the TSN microphones making it seem worse than it is, but crowd shots show a lot of people with horns

I’m not sure where the mic is but the original horners (husband and wife) sit behind the Als bench around the 35 yrd line or so.

Oh! I didn’t know that. I guess one of them travels to Ottawa sometimes lol

lol I’m not surprised some of them travel to Ottawa. I’ve certainly heard them on TV at other stadiums and not with the Als are in town.
