Now that i’ve got you with the title, let me explain lol
World Cup Soccer has officially kicked off in a big way in South Africa, a few surprising tie games and some not so surprising wins. This is the time of year that soccer gets it’s best shot at gaining new fans and attention, especially from the US. This ofcourse comes at a cost of controversy (it is Africa so we know somebody’s going to have a problem with it lol).
Introducing the Vuvuzela. What is that you ask? Well if you’ve watched this year’s World Cup and heard that buzzing noise in the background that makes you feel like you are in the middle of a Hornet’s nest, THAT my friend is the Vuvuzela. A horn that is blown in waves by fans (NOT JUST THE AFRICAN ONES DAMNIT) all game long. ALL GAME LONG!
Players have called it a distraction, Fans call it annoying, Doctor’s have even called it a healthrisk, Networks have tried to figure a way to drown it out of their simulcast, and after all 4 have complained to FIFA…FIFA’s response…MAN THE FUCK UP. The Vuvuzelas are here to stay lol.
I personally enjoy them, they make the game seem extremely important, almost like war or some shit lol. Plus, this is a sport where people will literally sing their national anthem on repeat for the WHOLE MATCH!! Get over it OR just leave South Africa OR just watch the game on silent and stop whining like little chumps.
