Nobody is going back to South Africa for anything ~ never again!

Do you know what this did to receipts at sports bars worldwide?

[relictele]

Chanting, applause, whistles, drumbeats, horn sections, etc. - they are as much a part of football (soccer) as the 22 players on the pitch. They reflect national/club personalities. Vuvuzelas, as we know all too well by now, reduce crowd noise to a constant buzzing drone.

This decision comes too late to redeem the abysmal 2012 World Cup but it’s the right decision at least.

They should also be banned from Middle Earth

[Dead Eye Lane]

They should ban any artificial noise making devices, period!

[bigbob]

Europe already has plenty of hot air and noise.

[darkangel82]

Good.

... the South African plastic trumpets ...

Should be stuck up the South End of the blower. Then we would hear a really low tone.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

I can’t hear you!!!!....WHAT??????

[Brytani]

Yea!!! As a sports lover whose new to soccer and trying to like it, banning of those obnoxious horns is music to my ears!!!!

[driftless2]

You have to stand next to one of these horns from hell to understand how loud they are. I heard some Spanish fans blowing on them when I was walking down State Street in Madison, Wisc. after the final. They are so loud, you can’t hear yourself think.

Ah yes, the vuvuzela, the injection-molded plastic horn that traces its heritage back to the Zulus, who were well-known in the 1800s for their skill at making...injection-molded plastic horns. Or something.
