MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association wants to ban certain words from being chanted at high school games.
It is part of an effort to promote better sportsmanship. Here are some of the words and phrases they do not want to hear:
Sieve, Air Ball, Seasons Over, Over-Rated.
The association says these chants are “taunting and disrespectful.â€
The association sent a letter to athletic directors last month with the new guidelines.
It is getting attention now because a three-sport athlete was just suspended for five games for tweeting her criticism of the new rules. Her tweet did include profanity.
A spokesman from the WIAA says it is up to each school to decide if they will enforce the policy and decide the consequences.
In our day, we chanted:
“Rah, rah ree, kick ‘em in the knee,
“Rah, rah rass, kick ‘em in the other knee.”
I guess that one would be out, too.
Hey Badgers!
Hey Badgers!
Hey Badgers!
We just beat the hell out of you!
Rammer jammer yellowhammer
Give ‘em hell Alabama!
you mean they’re gonna ban, “DIE, YOU GRAVY-SUCKING SCUM!!!”
How else can a school raise a new crop of hypersensitive snowflakes except by sheltering them from any possible offensive word, no matter how tiny.
Really? A government entity is going to limit free speech. That is rich.
Also...is there going to be someone in the stands taking names that will go on their permanent record.
They way t overcome this is to have everyone say the chants and flood the detention halls. Alinsky works both ways.
We had some pretty spicy chants that only came from the stands, as the Cheerleaders had too much class to repeat them.

B-U-T-T-J-O-B buttjob buttjob referee!
At first glance of the headline I thought they were going to ban certain types of cheese!
I believe it’s DIE YOU GRAVY SUCKING PIGS, and TRY TO MAKE A TOUCHDOWN YOU SCUMBAGS.

As a charter member of the McMurray DDMCC (drunk and disorderly male chearing choir) I find this ridiculous.
The PC nightmare continues!!!
Participation trophies anyone?

Ugh.
You have to admit that getting one side to chant “Allahu Akbar!”, and the other side to chant “Deus Vult!”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_vult
Once the schools administrators go over their initial freak out, they would look up the meaning of Deus Vult, and have another freak out. Then when the ACLU showed up to complain about “God Wills It!”, but *not* “Allah is Great!”, they would have a third freak out.
The other team eats it rah,rah,rah!!!
Rooty toot toot, rooty toot toot, who are the dogs in the cheerleader suit! You!
A classic that got us a lecture from principal.
Rice university.
roll tide roll
Not once, but several times...even cutting off the sound systems and threatening the various Student Groups, etc.
It has not worked.
If one listens closely, one can hear it at every Tide victory, regardless of the venue.
CBS has actually done a delay broadcast for no other reason than to be able to block it.
Saban halfheartedly asked that it not be chanted, but if one watches closely, he will crack his little half-smile when he hears it.
Doing it at an away Tennessee victory almost caused a riot on the field.
I know, I was there, and that chant reverberated all the way to Nashville and absolutely enraged the Tennessee coaching staff, as it broke out long before the game was over and Tennessee had no hopes of winning.
My dad’s favorite cheer was:
Hit em in the wishbone
Hit em in the jaw
Send them to the cemetary - rah, rah, rah
He played football back in the early 1900’s when they wore only leather helmets and no pads. Has to be turning over in his grave at all the PC.
