I don't know how they can stop fans from doing the "Wooo", it'd be like banning the wave
They should also ban the wave.Originally Posted by Joesh
Short answer: they can't
As a fan. Just tell the idiot doing it that our players HATE the sound. It's all you can do.
Telling drunk frat boys to stop doing something. That will have good results, haha.
I was watching a pirates game the other day and I think their wooing is worse. The braves announcers were talking about how annoying it was, was hilarious.
Great now it's spreading to other ballparks. So even on away game we'll have to endure the stupidity.
I've said all winter — they talk about this team winning the division — and my comment is, they won't win it because, at the end of the day, they still are the Chicago Cubs, and they will figure out a way to screw this whole thing up. - Marty Brennaman
This did not start in Cinci. Pittsburgh did it first.
I believe it was a drunk idiot at a late Reds game wasnt it and a bunch of drunk college idiots started doing it to mock him?
I don't know that Welsh and Brennaman actually encouraging it has had any effect, but at least it sounds as if the Braves announcers have a clue.
Arise and walk, come through. A world beyond that door is calling out for you. Arise and walk, come through. It's calling out for you.
I actually enjoy it. Watching alot of out of market games on Extra Innings; I have realized Reds fans are pretty conservative and a little up-tight when it comes to cheering.
For me it's an homage to The Nature Boy, I even woo at work. Its fun to do during a long game, it's fun to do while drinking. It's just fun to do. If I pay my money to watch a game, I'm not gonna think once if a tight-butt fan asks me to stop. Is it really that hard to just ignore it and watch/listen to the game. Not a fan of Jim Day, but I still watch Reds live.
"Why you going to the Airport; flying somewhere?"
It began in Pittsburgh....then it came to Cincy with them. And it's not a howl. It's a Rick Flair style "wooo"
