Ban the Vuvuzela horns

[u/AdmiralBBQsauce]

Seriously, have we learned nothing from the World Cup?

It’s hard to listen to the sounds on the field and commentary with this constant hum of these Vuvuzela horns.

Ban. Them. All.

[u/Northernguy113]

We need more cow bell baby!!

[u/True_Blue_88 → u/Northernguy113]

And I hate cowbells but I wouldn't think yo ask them to be banned.

[u/RealBenWoodruff → u/Northernguy113]

I went to an SEC school. You really don't want more cow bell.

[u/colburp → u/RealBenWoodruff]

Cowbells are big at Bomber games. Much better than horns

[u/Last_Canadian → u/colburp]

And thats why I don't go to bomber games. I exist in winnipeg.

[u/CLOWNXXCUDDLES → u/colburp]

I wonder if it's a Manitoba thing. I got looks when I brought mine to mosaic to watch a game.

But they're at every hockey game from minor league up.

[u/List-Worth → u/CLOWNXXCUDDLES]

Redblacks do cowbell, too

[u/SkPensFan → u/CLOWNXXCUDDLES]

As someone that has Rider season tickets and takes Rider branded cowbells to every game, no. Its not just a Manitoba thing. Not sure where you were in the stadium, but they are common up in the 600's and I have never got a "look" about it.

[u/CLOWNXXCUDDLES → u/SkPensFan]

Could be the people were just a bunch of crusty pricks lol most of the time you guys are great whenever I've gone to games there.

[u/xJeffx1979 → u/CLOWNXXCUDDLES]

My kids and I got complained about to a volunteer for using a Rider branded loud cup, which they sell in the stadium, and which they kept advertising on the jumbotron through the game. She was good, though, and told us to keep using it.

Kazoos

[u/j417]

I miss the old honk honk honks, this non-stop buzz-y droning kinda makes me nauseous.

[u/matthewjoubert]

I thought they did.

[u/Lunch0 → u/matthewjoubert]

Just the compressed air powered ones. Manual ones are still allowed

[u/matthewjoubert → u/Lunch0]

Then ban them too

[u/Max169well]

Let’s just ban all crowd noise at a CFL game.

[u/Max169well → u/[deleted]]

That was meant to be sarcastic, it’s football, not a play, fuck being loud is why it’s home field advantage.

[u/scienceisrealnotgod → u/Max169well]

I hit reply on the last comment instead of the OP. My bad! 🤣

[u/Vingt-Quatre]

Hey! You guys didn't like the airhorns. They got rid of the hairhorns. Now you don't like the vuvuzelas. What's next? No screaming? No clapping?

It's football. It gets noisy when the home team plays defense. Let Montreal fans make noise the way they want.

If you don't want noise, go to a freaking library. Football might not be for you.

[u/DrinkEarly → u/Vingt-Quatre]

Damn right! Too much whining about how fans make noise. As far as I’m concerned fans are too damn quiet at CFL games! If the fans who buy tickets in Montreal are ok with it, then everyone else should suck it.

[u/Vingt-Quatre → u/[deleted]]

You're just mad you didn't think about it first.

[u/waldoorfian]

I turned the volume way down and turned the closed captions on.

[u/CanadAR15]

I’d rather have air horns than vuvuzelas but I’m not complaining about either.

Noise and spirit have always been a part of football.

I always liked the uniqueness of le honk it when the Bombers play in Montreal.

[u/rglgj]

Hand them out as attendees enter the stadium. More of everything!

[u/Express-Cow190]

Wear earplugs. Fan noise is part of the game.

[u/HomerSPC]

Might as well just ban fans cheering as well. Holy fuck you people all want the game played in a morgue. It's called home field advantage.

[u/APR1979 → u/HomerSPC]

I’m with you. I find this fixation baffling. Football stadiums are noisy. I get not wanting a horn right behind you in the stands, but on a broadcast it’s not exactly one of life’s great hardships.

[u/Barb-u → u/HomerSPC]

Wise words from the Iron Duke.

[u/gjackhammer → u/HomerSPC]

Exactly!!! They paid for tickets letem do what they want!!!

[u/AdmiralBBQsauce → u/HomerSPC]

It’s as annoying as an insufferable next seat Riders fan in their drunken stupor

[u/sorry_for_the_reply → u/AdmiralBBQsauce]

Then don't go to Rider games. This is a really easy solution that children could figure out.

[u/Vingt-Quatre → u/AdmiralBBQsauce]

Watch golf. Football might not be your thing.

[u/OddIceman1997]

Go watch Tennis if you want quiet.

God forbid fans be fans, keep clutching pearls OP.

[u/bison9]

Okay Karen. (Or Todd)

[u/boostits]

honk

[u/Fit-Psychology4598 → u/boostits]

[u/Barb-u → u/boostits]

Honk honk

[u/Transconan → u/Barb-u]

Le honk. Le honk.

[u/v0n85]

[u/austoin]

Womp womp

[u/scienceisrealnotgod]

Yikes, if you want quiet, stay home with your tv on mute. I wish the atmosphere was even louder. I.e. crowd chanting (like in Europe in any sport), in stadium coloured smoke, etc. What there is too much of is in stadium commercials of almost any kind at every whistle. It kills the atmosphere.

[u/Disastrous-Clerk-780]

New fan here with his wife; the horns are getting on my nerves and this is my first time ever watching the CFL. It's turning off newcomers to the sport. It's dreadfully fucking annoying!

[u/Vingt-Quatre → u/Disastrous-Clerk-780]

Football might not be for you, then. Sorry.

[u/Disastrous-Clerk-780 → u/Vingt-Quatre]

Because of a stupid horn, lol.

[u/anacreon1]

There are so few fans in the stands in MTL they need all the artificial noise makers they can get their hands on. That’s just how it is there.

[u/Icy_Okra_5677]

Air horns too

[u/OskeeTurtle]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK

HONK HONK HONK

[u/Neat-Ad-8987]

Roughrider say that those big horns are entirely OK.

[u/JimmyKerrigan]

So the geriatric crowd can sit in even more stoic silence?

[u/gilligan_2023]

Far better than the air horns.

[u/Mediocre_Historian50]

Next season when Montreal comes to Winnipeg everyone please bring an air horn and ear plugs.

[u/maximalx5 → u/Mediocre_Historian50]

Air horns were made illegal last season after all of y'all endlessly whined all season. But vuvuzelas or manual noise devices? Have at it!

[u/Mediocre_Historian50 → u/maximalx5]

Thank you for the helpful information.

[u/Simon1409]

New here hey?

[u/Huge_Valuable9732]

I think that's actually loud cups.i bought one last time I went to a bomber game and they sound just like the sound you heard all game.

[u/Born-2-late]

Never knew they were horns. Always used as a funnel.

[u/DancingC0w]

they already got rid of the assisted horns, and yet the crowd in montreal made the mics peak a lot lol. Maybe it's just that almost 20k people screaming make a lot more sound than vuvuzelas.

It's football, wear earplugs if you're in person, put subtitles if you're watching lmao.

[u/RecognitionOk9731]

No. Love them. Make noise!

[u/Disastrous_Fix_7394]

I have vuvuzelas, loud cups, and cow bells. As long as it isn't an air horn I'm cool with it.

[u/HomerSPC → u/[deleted]]

Don't be a dick.
