Are you sure they are not just booing? The play on the field deserves that

Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!

Me and my wife watching games....
Every 3 seconds
Crowd: Woooooooooooo
Us: ughhhhhh
2 hours later
Us: laughing out loud
It went from making me miserable to an ironic kinda funny.
If you’re a Woo’er out there reading this, please stop
To defeat the enemy we must understand them. Has anyone asked a wooer why they woo?

Attended 1976 World Series in my Mother's Womb. Attended 1990 World Series Game 2 as a 13 year old. Want to take my son to a a World Series Game in Cincinnati in my lifetime.
The woo is alive in Cleveland tonight in the seventh inning of a no-hitter.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
I still like it
Welsh came down hard on it yesterday, wishing stadiums would do something about it.
It's been going on for years and that's the strongest I've heard him come out against it. I mean it can't be good for the broadcasts...I wonder if there has been a nudge to go on the offensive about it.
Realistically speaking, what the heck can be done about it? It's not inherently offensive. Just really dumb and really irritating.
Are fans going to be told how to cheer?
“The crows seem to be calling my name,” thought Caw.
My libertarian side agrees with you. But it is kind of a tricky issue. You can't (or certainly don't want) obnoxious fans making things miserable for the other 99 percent there. (I'm sure some like it and some tolerate it to different levels)
One thought - I'm fairly confident this sort of thing wouldn't last in the Bronx due to self-policing.
What could be done by stadiums though? I imagine there is some sort of nuisance clause on the ticket/stadium rules that could be invoked.
I'm certain there is some sort of "we reserve the right" authority built into every ticket purchase. I just think this is going to become very tricky, and it's probably something that will eventually resolve itself. Look at what happened to swatch watches.
“The crows seem to be calling my name,” thought Caw.
That is the only nuisance rule I see mentioned so at the moment perhaps there is no enforceable rule to take care of the woo. But if wanted there could be a overall nuisance rule put in I'm sure. You get warned and if you do it again you are out of there.Noisemakers such as cowbells, thunder sticks, air horns, whistles, clappers and other such items that incur an audible nuisance upon Guests are not permitted in the ballpark.
All of the above is true, but my main point of jumping in here was the thought that perhaps the higher-ups are fed up and struggling to figure out how to handle this.
I don't know that it will "take care of itself" though...its been going on 5+ years.

Sometimes liberty and common sense are at loggerheads with one another. I think this is just such an instance.

It was funny because when he came down hard, Thom went silent, when just the day before Thom was supporting it (contrarian style as he is wont to do). Made me also wonder if management had a word with Thom.

Well, that's what those words mean. He was here. If they don't keep him, he will have been lost/subtracted. I headed out the door today with two shoes on my feet. If I don't return with them, I have lost them. If I do return with them, I haven't added them. ---M2
