And they are justified - if the team members cannot hear each other on the field it is a perfectly understandable gripe. I don't mind the soothing sound of the Vuvuzela even though it seems that it did not originate in our country.
I see that many countries in South America, in particular Mexico, have been blowing horns at sporting events since the 70's. I do however feel that fans should be respectful enough to not blow their Vuvuzela's during the anthems before the game commences - that is just downright obstinate!
Can you believe this, some church in our country was at one time threatening to take legal action as they claim the Vuvuzela was their brain child - well good for them - it's not exactly something to seek to take claim for.
Oh, and it gets better. Now the guy who produces these toys of torment is now producing the ear plugs for people to purchase - clever little boy, produce the noise then make more money buy counter-acting the sound with deafness that most habitual soccer fans will fall victim to in a few years from now anyway!
