The Wussification of Wisconsin

Students advised to stop chanting 'U-S-A, U-S-A' and 'air ball'

It strikes me that even cheering for the home team when a basket or a goal scored, it makes the visitors feel badly about themselves and inadequate as defensive players.

Yeah, that's dumb. Even so, they're just guidelines, not rules.

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.

You know, we shout shit like that because it's more fun...and alot easier than;
"Do your best, do your best, and if it turns out that your best isn't good enough that's okay because we're all unique and I'm sure you'll be rewarded for the effort and discipline it took to get not-quite-as-good as the other guys but better than most of us!"
...on second thought, it might actually be more fun to go to a game and start shouting the above like a loon.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I often chant, after a bad call against my team:
"Referees, referees,
Hear this lesson if you please:
We won't hate, we won't hate,
We won't hate if you reciprocate!"
It hasn't yet caught on

May I just point out that the source is Fox news and there's just the slightest possibility of making a mountain out of a molehill.

Exactly, you'll see how committed they are to their new guidelines when their Pepsi sales drop.
