But, the stadium IS your back lawn.
You have as much right to be at the stadium as he does, and you also have the right to not be deafened.
I see non vuvu users giving way to the vuvu users so that they may enjoy themselves, but absolutely nothing is being given by the vuvu users to make life better for the non vuvu users.

Unequal, unfair and complete bull.

Mark my words - in the long run these things will be banned from all sports stadiums.

Tune into the game. Look how many Slovaks are armed with Vuvus. Oh no, its all an illusion.Everyone is entitled to attend stadiums, no one person has the right to prohibit others from attending, but people of different fan cultures and sport codes really have no business dictating to others what should or shouldnt be part of their games when it has been a part of their game for decades.

Similarily, it's always been part of MY culture to hear the commentary and cheer for the team I am supporting.
Vuvu users are taking away my right to MY traditional cultural enjoyment of the game.

Stop the vuvuzela madness.

Please, South Africa, make the trumpets stop. Give us a song, instead.

Tell your pommy mates to stop blowing them too then. It's not just South Africans. Man, these people call themselves journalists. Air your personal thoughts on a blog, not on a NEWS website like SuperSport.

For ****s sakes guy this is South African football culture. Should they abandon it because you decided to attend a world cup footie match?

Erm, why exactly am I NOT entitled to enjoy the world cup?
Just because is is the culture of 90% of South Africans AND now also 20% of international guests are also doing it?

Surely, even though all this is true, I am still entitled to enjoy the game at the stadium without being submitted to that noise.

Why on earth would you go to a stadium if you dont want to be subjected to noise? I just do not understand the retreaded logic behind this. I know somebody who has only recently started watching and attending football games wont understand this, but the vuvu is part and parcel of the SA game. Get use to it bud. That, or you can revel in misery for the next few weeks.

Just so we're clear here.
You, as a Vuvu user supporter, are telling me that I have zero rights in this situation.
You're telling me that the Vuvu user has the right to make my world cup experience a lousy one.
Or, are you telling me something different?

Fine... blow them at the stadium, I'll avoid those areas.

Blow them next to my house and I'll ram that thing down your throat, is that a compromise ?
