hckošice 13,217 Posted April 17, 2019 #11 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Which sport has the best fans, yes, Ice Hockey Name me one sport where fans will applaude and chant the name of a player from your opponents team. Fans of Banská Bystrica and their standing ovation and shouting the name of Samuel Buček from Nitra after he was named the Play-offs MVP after the end of the last match of our Extraliga final yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,540 Posted April 25, 2019 #12 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Why are US sports fans so insanely boring? No matter which of the US competitions I'm watching, the chants are always basically the same Let's go Dodgers! Let's go Celtics! Let's go Nuggets! Let's go Red Sox! Let's go Rockets! Let's go Raptors! Let's go Penguins! And all that in one monotonous drone of always the same. Can they not think of anything else? And no, the incredibly cringy "I believe that we will win" doesn't count Edited April 25, 2019 by heywoodu If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

And no, the incredibly cringy "I believe that we will win" doesn't count Have you seen my favorite athletes section? You’ll notice none of them are American or from American professional sports. I’m against the way professional sports are run and treated in this country. That’s why you’ll notice I watch pretty much everything (because I have time to) since I don’t waste time watching Pro sports. There are a few teams with unique character though. I recommend watching the Golden Knights preshows. I know another ice hockey always throughs a catfish on the ice, one team throws octopus as well. Some college teams have similar traditions, but all of them have much better fan bases and cheers. Here are of few of my favorite American sports cheers/fan interactions: U of Wisconsin: Jump Around Utah State University: Winning/Losing Team U of Maryland: Whatever The Fuck This Is Here’s a general overview of some other famous ones And here’s part 2 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one of those US things, calling their own things 'pro sports' and the rest apparently 'something else' I watch a boatload of pro sports: athletics, cycling, biathlon, alpine skiing, F1, you name it. Also, highlights of NHL, NBA and NFL (not MLB unless it's the play-offs). Your videos remind me that it does seem to be better in college sports, or maybe in American football in general (I don't often hear that monotonous "Let's go xx!" buzzing around there). It's not much of a chant, more just an entry, but I do like the Enter Sandman one of Virginia Tech dcro 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
