To: a fool in paradise
OK ... maybe the vuvuzela is annoying. But a risk to public safety? Come on, guys. I smell just a tinge of cultural snobbery here.

The vuvuzela is clearly an African innovation and perhaps the English soccer clubs want to keep their game free from "foreign" influence.

Or perhaps the English soccer clubs would rather hear people cheer and sing and boo - you know, hear some diverse reactions, we all do love diversity, don't we - rather that just a constant monotone blare that drowns out everything else. What's wrong with cultural snobbery? We were told that everyone had to listen to those horns in Africa because that was African culture. Fine. So why shouldn't people have to listen to cheers and boos and songs in England because that's English culture?
