Measurably louder than a lawnmower, chainsaw, air horn and drum, much of the hype around the World Cup has been about those dreaded Vuvuzelas and their 127 decibel output. These horns, which simulate the sound of bees frantically swarming around their sweet nectar, have proven to be a huge nuisance for players on the pitch and broadcasters calling the game.
Should they be banned? Well that’s easier said than done says FIFA. As a viewer watching on television, I don’t mind them. It showcases the enthusiasm fans have for the sport and more specifically their team, but then again I’m not in a 90,000 person stadium with an inability to block out the blare of those booming souvenirs.
What do you think of this vuvuzela controversy? Is it a symbol of soccer support or an unnecessary nuisance?
